Hi There,


I hope everyone is having a wonderful start to the new school year.  We are well underway with our beginning of the year assessments.  Instructional practices are being put into place, so students are aware of the routines and expectations.  We are utilizing our Wonders Reading Program, so students are reading both narrative and expository texts for a deeper, closer understanding.  I'm happy to say that some classrooms are also using The Daily Five and CAFE in conjunction with Wonders.  This provides a solid structure where students can read and write authentically and purposefully.  I look forward to celebrating our summer reading achievements and getting ready for our Scholastic Book Fair. 


Happy Reading,


Mandy Fallon

Arthur's Eyes!

More fun with Mrs. McGovern's props after reading about Arthur getting glasses. We practiced blending sounds, cross-checking, checking for understanding and making and adjusting predictions! 

Russell and the Lost Treasure!

The lost treasure was an old camera and props for pictures! Thank you, Mrs. McGovern for the books and props! 

THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
