It’s Draw-ctober at Chicopee Hills! A month long drawing challenge for students. Today’s word was “gather.” And that’s exactly what I did with young friends as we read @peterhreynolds Our Table. #chiwrdsb @chiwrdsb @MrsLeahThomas

Be a role model first. Yes, yes, and yes!!!
Can I brag on my colleagues for just one minute? At the beginning of the year I offered to create "Currently Reading" signs for the staff. Over 25 of these signs now decorate the walls of our building. Want the kids to read? Be a reading role model FIRST. ❤

This! 100% this!
There is nothing quite as peaceful or perfect as the quiet reading time after picking up new library books from @KitchLibrary.

Wordle meets Dewey Decimal! This week’s theme is animals. Have you heard of an Okapi? What about a Saiga? Do you know the Dewey number for Wallabies? @chiwrdsb #chiwrdsb #wrdsb

Who’s enjoying Wordle? We are! We’re paying close attention to our word choices in our writing and thought Wordle was a great way to expand our vocabulary!
