Triumph: Back to school for two days before another 2 days off from the cold was a success. The students were so well behaved and ready to work. It was great seeing them and I could tell they were ready to be back also. Although we needed to take a few more brain breaks than usual, we got a lot done those two days we were back. Hopefully the great behavior continues after 2 snow/cold days off!
Trouble: We are starting an intensive reading program during our WIN time. We are going to be grouping students by ability and picking a theme to create a unit around. I chose to focus on the Olympics. Although I am finding a lot of good supplemental articles and books it has been really hard to find an anchor text I could use for book groups. I was hoping to find 1-2 chapter books that were fiction that were Olympic or sports themed. I think I settled on a couple but I have to see if they are good read. Any ideas on sports related chapter books at a 5th grade level would be much appreciated!
