Beautiful weather today! Students definitely have spring fever as well as the staff too! I received the new book titled, Essential Questions Opening Doors to Student Understanding. By Jay McTighe and Grant Wiggins. It looks like a great read and very helpful!  Anyone read this yet? Thoughts or things to share about it?  I will post some interesting things in the next few weeks I find helpful from the book.  Here is the linkto check out the book.   http://www.ascd.org/Publications/Books/Overview/Essential-Questions.aspx

What a great break!  So much accomplished. I was able to go through storage and sort through things to keep and things to donate. Fourth grade is going to be great! There are so many resources and ideas on the web! I pitched so many things. A friend helped me learn Progress Book so I won't have to worry about that.  Any comments or thoughts about Progress book? Pros and/or Cons?  
Anyone want to share their ideas for Poetry Month?  I plan to have a poem ready to read on the morning announcements all month and also encourage everyone to participate in Poem in My Pocket Day!   :)
