November Principal Book Of The Month
The True Stroy of The 3 Little Pigs
For the Month of November Mrs. Wallace has selected a fun Fractured Fairy Tale. This is a story of the Three Little Pigs told by the Big Bad Wolf. You know they say there are three sides to every story. This story is the wolf’s side of the story. Was the wolf really just baking a cake for his grandmother or, was he just trying to eat the pigs? It is your call. Is he guilty or not? Let us know.
If you want more information on Fractured Fairy Tales stop by the library and check out Rump, Little Red Writing, and Ella Enchanted, to name a few.

How can you help your child?
Summer Reading Program
Summer Reading What?? It is never too early to start planning our Summer Reading Program. Last year our turn out was not too bad, but I know we can do better. Statics show that the more you read the better you do in school. One way to slow the “summer slide” is to read. We would love your input as we start planning our Summer Reading Program. Please go to the google form and give your feedback.

Teacher App of the Month
Stick Pick
This app has two great uses. The first one is just a way to make sure you are calling on all the students. We all have that kid that will want to dominate all the discussions. By using pick stick students will never know when they will be called on and it ensures that they are all engaged. The second benefit is it can be used for progress monitoring. You can set the level of blooms you want to question at and if they get it correct you are able to add their level of understanding. The best part is you can email the data to yourself in an Excel worksheet. What a great way to monitor your students.
