"I am a part of everything I read." -Theodore Roosevelt

Today was another fun day at PALS.  Seeing the library filled with over 35 kids diving into books is so amazing!  We started over our chart just two short meetings ago and they already made it to 100 books!  
Three boys second grade, sixth grade, and high school all brought together by books!  Thankful for a high schooler that wasn't too cool to wear these silly headbands because Jarell's face lit up when they won!
Terrence and De'Mauri were our other PALS of the Week!  De'Mauri met his AR goal for the 4th nine weeks this meeting!

"Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are." -Mason Cooley

Last week's blog post is a few weeks late due to Spring Break madness, but I couldn't let this cute pictures go without their own post!  We started nominating PALS of the Week and the kids love it!  Whoever the teachers notice doing an exceptional job that day gets to take home the PALS of the Week headbands.
Carmeleeta and Jayla run straight for each other the second PALS starts!  Carmeleeta's reading confidence has grown so much since since Jayal became her PAL.  These girls definitely deserved PALS of the Week!
Fred and Marcus took 5 AR tests in one meeting and were smiling the whole time!
