Congratulations to these two super students on a job well done! They both remembered to use the "rules of title writing," read (and record) for 15 minutes or more (wow, Ethan!), have their logs signed, and turn them in! An honorable mention goes out to Jacob...poor kid, he was "almost" the Shining Star, and "almost" the winner of an impromptu handwriting contest we had in the classroom. The real reward for all of the kids, of course, is how well they are doing! Keep up the great work!

Congratulations to Charlotte & Serene! Surprisingly, there were only nine kids in the running, today! They all remembered to read for at least fifteen minutes, complete their logs, making sure to follow the "rules of title writing," and turn them in. Keep on working toward your best, kids!

Congratulations to Melody & Moira on a job well done! Reading Logs from both girls were super neat (they used the handwriting lines as they were meant to be used), they read for 15 minutes or more, AND they used the "rules of title writing!" They should both be very proud of themselves for such outstanding work and for doing their best to meet our new expectations!

Congratulations to Addy & Ethan! They've been hearing all about the "rules of tile writing," and they tried and succeeded at following those rules on last week's log! What invested learners! This week, we "officially" studied and practiced these rules. We'll continue to do so in class, and at home, the children should be attempting them on their Reading Logs. From now on, to be "in the running" for Shining Stars, this skill must be attempted, each week. The students will be able to tell you the rules, but if you need a refresher, it goes like this:
*First letter
*Four letters or more OR important words
*Finally, underline the title
It's exciting to see the kids practice this skill that will last a lifetime!
