Yesterday I went to a great in service. I know as teachers we cannot always say that. This year our school implemented a new assessment for reading. It’s called IRLA and I admit I dug my heels in and was not happy  I was thrilled about it and accepted it with open arms. Now that I have had several weeks to see it in action in my classroom I am impressed with the improvement my students are making. The in service yesterday gave me some things to think about. Like setting a purpose for their silent reading time. I always just thought the purpose was SILENT READING…..well I learned that you should set a focus to correspond to what reading strategy they are currently learning…..okay so  maybe I am the only one that came late to the game.

When I say my husband is my best friend I truly mean it. The man is a rock star in my eyes. I want to also honor him this week because he is a Veteran. I am thankful for all the men and women who serve!
