Read and Empower

Wow! You’ve got to see the number of readers feeding our school bookworm.
It's amazing!
This bookworm has traveled about a 1/4 of a mile if not more.
You have to come see the amazing caterpillar feeding on books our students have reported on and with the support of their parents they are moving mountains of books and making this bookworm digest all their stories about the books they are reading about. Reading is fun and as you read you grow in formation of an imagination, comprehension of interpretation and recognition of perception.

Getting Back to business


Hello again, it is a cold day in November. We will be getting back to school on Monday Nov. 26 2007. This was a long vacation, my students and others too, took many books to read for the holidays. I am anxious to know how big our book worm will grow as we post their reports. I can say that is so much fun to see it getting bigger each day by the feeding our students give him as they read and report on it. You've got to come see it!!! It is great. And our students are getting all the benefit which makes it fantastic!

Science by Reading




Yesterday was a great day. Our Science Lab instructor reminded us that reading was great but not to forget science, because it was an important subject as well. I thought to my self, how could you be forgetting this essential subject if you are doing reading. Then I thought, Great motivational idea to promote genre and specially one you could apply in your academic curriculum.Yea! Mustangs You can do it keep on Reading!GO!GO!

Mustang Poem


Mustang how I love thee. Let me count the books...

Mr Ed wasn't read But he was a horse
And that is why I love him of course
Another equestrian addition to the cavalier
world of his I would say has to be the cheer
-- Ok I can't rhyme, but this post is about our school mascot. He is the red mustang (not the ford), but the horse.

Reading is Power


Our school is engaged in a reading crusade.  We have created a worm that starts at the front door and has traveled throughout the halls of a our school and is now on the second floor. We look forward to getting him into the auditorium.  He grows as the students read.
So there you go.
