Here's one reason why I teach!

This lovely student, Julia, gave me this book with this note. It's one I will never, ever forget! Love you too, Julia! (Click it to see a larger image.)

Caught Reading

Third graders are so creative. They made a reading train! All aboard! Read read read read woohoo!

First Graders

Our first graders had a performance task to complete. For this task, they had to think about a problem around our school, figure out how it impacted themselves and others and the come up with a solution for the problem.
The problem is: In our LMC people are leaving library books on the floor.
Impact: Others cannot find the books they are looking for, or someone could step on them and get hurt.!
Solution: Don't "throe" books on the floor!

Brilliant!!! Awesome work 1N & 1S!

Library Spaces

So glad our Kendall Patriots are enjoying the comfortable reading center in our LMC! Keep coming and relaxing to read!
