Book Talks
We completed our first quarter book talks! Now my part of this project begins; I will be turning the book talk videos into scannable QR codes to put into books in the classroom library. I have an old phone that I will be keeping in the library for students to scan the codes in the books and view the book talks to see if they want to read the book or not. I have included three examples for your viewing pleasure. If you are viewing this flyer on a computer, scan these QR codes with a free code scanning app on your phone to view these book talks. If you are viewing this page on a phone already and have a friend or family member nearby, have them scan the code from your phone screen-it works!
Students can do a book talk any time during the quarter, on as many books as they like. One book talk is required per quarter on a book read at home (homework). I am hoping to expand this idea to the CMS library, and have already spoken to Mrs. Shotwell about how we might get some discarded phones to use as scanners. If you have a phone that you are upgrading and you would like to donate your old phone to this cause, we would be grateful to accept it.
Costumes, props, puppets, hats, glasses, backgrounds, etc. that would enhance the book talk are always welcomed but not required.

As you can see, this allows me to meet briefly with 16 parents. I am giving priority to students that are having trouble with either their academics or behavior, and parents that I have not yet met. As I said at Back to School Night, if at any time you have questions or concerns and would like to meet with me, I will schedule parent meetings during my prep period as well. (M,T,Th,F between 1:30-2:30). I have already met with many of you this year and will continue to do so when the need arises.
Thank you for your support.
