Today your child watched the World Record Holder and 10 time X Games Medalist BMX biker, Kevin Robinson known as K-Rob to the kids!  He performed amazing T.R.I.C.K.s!  T.R.I.C.K. stands for Teamwork, Respect, Inspiration,Confidence, and Kindness.  The students were amazed by his stunts and his personal message of Believe and Achieve!  Thank you TESPTO for making this possibly for us to experience!

K-Rob and I greeting each other in a respectful way!

K-Rob performs the trick of riding over teachers!

The Daily Five

The Daily Five is a reading structure that fosters literacy and independence in reading.  The Daily Five was created by Gail Boushey & Joan Moser, known as "the sisters".  The Daily Five is a series of five literacy tasks (reading to self, reading with someone, writing, word work, and listening to reading) which students complete daily while I meet with small groups.  Here we are in action today!

listen to reading: Here Comes T-Rex Cottontail

read to self: rhyming words & sight words

read to someone: Students are reading "just right books" using E.E.K.K.
