Wild About Reading Update
It's hard to believe, but there are only two weeks left in the Wild About Reading Challenge. At this point, Wagner students have read 494 Books and earned 2,048.2 AR points! Additionally, in fourth grade Mrs. Swenson's class is in the lead, and in fifth grade Mr. Whitchurch's class has the top spot.
Classroom Blogs
More Wagner classrooms are starting to use kidblogs. One fun aspect of kidblogs is that students can reach a wider audience with their writings. One way that our teachers have done that is participating in the global blogging challenge where students can read and respond to blogs from kids at different schools and in different parts of the country. Below are some of our classrooms where students are blogging.* Feel free to visit your son's or daughter's blog, or visit another student's blog and leave a comment. It is always fun for students to get feedback.
*One limitation that all of the blogs have is that, with testing this time of year, the computer lab is not readily available very often. As a result, teachers do their best to allow students to update their blogs as time allows. However, these links can also be used to give students access to their blogs at home or away from school.
