Kicking the Year Off!

Last Friday was Maple Elementary's Constitution Day in which we celebrated the signing of our Constitution. We spent a majority of our day discussing and even creating our own Constitution out of our classroom rules! Everyone took part in being a framer and helped to develop our own classroom law. Take a look at our Constition Day...
We framed our own Constitution.


Learing about the history behind our Constitution was very interesting!

Throughout the past couple of weeks, students have been practicing reading-to-self. This time involves the students finding a special spot in the classroom to enjoy their favorite books. A few rules go along with this time like no fake reading, no disturbing others, and to treat the books properly. Students are also asked to practice a few reading techniques during this time like visualizing. Up to this date, we are able to read-to-self for over 10 minutes! This is a great accomplishment and we are on the road to becoming GREAT readers! Look at what amazing readers we have in our class...
