We also celebrated Dot Day on Tuesday! After reading The Dot by Peter Reynolds we all decorated our own dot. Even Mrs. Kramer got in on the fun. Then, we used the ColAR app to bring our dots to life via augmented reality. So cool!!!
This was also our very first week of fully launched, self-select Daily Five. This means that the students get to pick which Daily Five station they want to do each round. The class did AWESOME!!!
Our first Tiger Pride Assembly of the year will be on Friday, September 25th at 2:30 PM in the gym. You are invited to join us for our monthly celebration where we recognize student success. Our class sits on the right-hand side of the gym if you are facing the stage area.

SPECIAL HELPER
Beginning next week, we will have a special helper in our classroom on Wednesday mornings. Ms. Perez will be joining us a practicum student from Missouri State for a couple of hours each week. She will mainly be observing and working with small groups of students but she will actually teach a couple of whole group lessons as well. I am excited for her to share her time with us. I have WONDERFUL memories of when I completed the same practicum. In fact, it was through this placement that I fell in love with Willard East. Of course, I did have an incredible cooperating teacher at East. Many of you know her, Cristi Davault, Claudia's mother!
