This month, the spotlight is on author, Marc Brown. This famous Massachusetts resident gained populatiry by writing and illustrating the Arthur series. PBS liked his books so much they chose to produce a popular children's show based on the books. We love Arthur books because so many of the challenges that third grade Arthur faces are the same ones that we face each day!

We add I-charts to our "Theatre Etiquette" wall to remind us of the good behaviors we should practice during the Daily 5. Keep watching as our collection is growing each day!

This is a snapshot of an Every Day Counts morning meeting. Students, Alexa and Dean are running the show. Because the students have really learned September's routine, they can certainly facilitate the morning meeting. I pipe in with the higher level questions to keep everyone on their toes.

Love Leo Lionni. His fable-like stories are simple but the messages are STRONG. We enjoyed his work all throughout the month of October. He left a big impression on the students.

This is a picture of our CAFE board. New strategies will be added to the "menu" as they're introduced. Soon, I'll begin meeting with students and deciding on goals. Students will declare their goals by posting their names on the black sheet under Comprehension, Accuracy, Fluency or Expand Vocabulary. Once goals are determined, "Parent Pipelines" will be coming home so that you can help your child work on his or her goal at home.
