#UnstoppableWS
7 instructional days until Christmas
Watch this video!
There are other websites as well. Don't think they are just for young readers. You can print the books without the pictures for the older readers. ( over on the right)
We can plan our reading text to match our phonics lessons.
If the video didn't convince you, you may want to take a look at the this article. We are moving this direction and all the research I have looked at it supports it. So jump on the wagon with me and lets do what we can to help our kiddo be better. Not only better readers, but better at spelling and writing as well.
Coming up this week

Staff Party
If you do not want to participate in the gift exchange you can still come to the party!!!! Just come eat with us and you can watch grown women fight over gifts. :)
Student Christmas Party Info... just in case you missed it.
The 19th was all set...parade-singalong-party- go home!
So here is what we will Monday the 18th. We are going to have a Grinch that Stole Christmas PJ day. The whole school can participate. The 30 mins cartoon version of the show is on youtube so it is easy for everyone to access. You can watch at any point of the day.
I am going to create a folder where you guys can share Grinch ideas in it for everyone to use how they see fit. You can do as much as you want with your kiddos or as little as you want... it is up to you.
If you want hot chocolate- you can serve it with while watching the Grinch. Or you can change it up and serve Grinch punch. This can be the mixed punch, mt. dew, or Hawaiian punch that is green. This is just an idea... in no way must you do this.
I will set a remind 101 to go out to Sunday the 17th to remind students about our pj day.
This should be the only movie we watch at school on the 18th or before. If you plan on watching anything else, it needs to be on the 19th.
I wanted to get this out to you early so that you can plan for the events.
