Every day for 1o mins we have a teacher read aloud. I have read many different genres to the students. They really have enjoyed the Calendar Club series. I am currently reading "Ramona Quimby, Age 8."

Grade Level
Dec. 1 and 2- 2 hours
This week we are meeting with our curriculum coach about Steven Layne an author that we heard present at the beginning of the year. She is discussing with us some of his strategies. We also are going to discuss what we are going to do next week for Christmas Around the World and then the rest of the curriculum. Mrs. Webb is back this week and I am looking forward to having grade level like we use to.

AR Conferences
Every Monday from Sept. 13 to now- 12 Mondays
30 mins each Monday
total of 6 hours
Every Monday I sit down with each student and discuss their AR goals with them and talk to them about what they need to do in order to either keep making their goals or what they need to do to make it if they have not already. I mark their points and percentage on a sheet in their AR folders. It helps them understand what they are working for when we do this together.

Constructive Student Behavior
Aug. 25- 2 hours
At the beginning of every year teachers and librarians must establish rules to promote the behaviors they want the students to have. I spend the majority of the first part of the day to do this with my students so they know immediately what is expected of them. This is a very crucial and important way to begin the school year.

AR Celebration
Oct. 26- 30 mins
All of my students made their AR goals for first quarter. To reward them, Mary always has a celebration for them. She buys them snack and drinks and they get to play games and puzzles. While they were snacking and playing, I called them over to pick out their bookmark that they get to have. I also shelved books while they played.

Activ Expressions/Votes
Oct. 27-45 mins
Nov. 10- 30 mins
total 1 hour and 15 mins
On the 27 I went to Mrs. McLaughlin's third grade classroom to show her students how to use the Activ Expressions because they are new for the school this year and they had never used them before. I showed them how they could type a word by having them practice spelling their high frequency words. I also showed them how to type a number by having them answer math problems. There are lots of things they can do with them. They really seemed to enjoy them.
On the 10, Ms. Kirk our new fifth grade teacher was using the Activ Votes for the very first time and she needed help setting them up with the laptop and then how to copy students answers onto the flipchart. She had difficulty at first trying to get the website and the activ inspire to work together.
