In our class we are learning about SEL (social and emotional learning). We talked about people we think possess SEL qualities like Dora the Explorer, Angelina Jolie and Ellen.

At the beginning of our year we set a goal to read 1000 books before the end of the year and this week we already reached our goal and we currently have read 1081 books! We are so pleased with our achievement that we are celebrating by having a pizza party next week!

Here are a few photos of our STAR READERS that read the most books in our class. And our top reader of the term Chels! WELL DONE 3/4M! AMAZING EFFORT and now…our goal is to try and read 10,000 books by December,… some of our Mathematical wizards figured out that with 27 students in our class  means we need to read approximately 12 books a week until the end of December!   Our response…
