On the second day of 2020, I met two teacher friends at school where we spent some time working in our classrooms and then enjoyed lunch together. A superb way to begin the new year!I spent part my time creating a snowman and putting together a new bulletin board...as shown at right.
First, may I say? I LOVE making bulletin boards (when I have the time). Second, may I say? This is the only elementary teacher bone I have in my body! Bless them. I admire them. Give me my big, older babies any day!
The purpose of this bulletin board (still need to add snow!) exists to encourage my students to read the nominated books for the Arkansas Teen Book Award. Awesome promotion of reading by the libraries in Arkansas. Just cool!
Excited! Our principal has agreed to purchase a set of the five books for each English classroom.
Yes! I must get these read soon so that I can book talk and encourage others to read. On it! (Right after I finish my current read...second book for 2020!) Right after that...need to prepare lessons for the first day of this new semester in this new decade.
Happy 2020!
