Guided Reading Gifts

We use Fountas and Pinnell to assess our students' reading levels four times per school year (September, December, March, and June). After reviewing the results, we change up our reading groups. As I say goodbye to readers who have "outgrown" my reading intervention group (yay!) and get ready to say hello to some new-to-me students, I like to throw a reading "party" and leave a thoughtful parting gift!

To pick up this black & white bookmark template, please hop over to my blogpost.

See you there!

Keep Paying it Forward for Evan

It was a year ago that my community lost a fine young man.

He was not only a fine 19 year old gentleman, he was a friend of the family. Please come over to Elementary Matters and download your freebie to honor Evan, and Pay it Forward, just as his family asked us to do.

Thanks so much!
