RIF comes to our classroom!
We had a visit from Mrs. O, our favorite representative of the Radford Woman’s Club! She brought us a good story and a bag full of books… for free! Amazing! The program is call Reading is Fundamental or RIF for short. This is our first of 3 visits this year.
We got to pick out a book, then we had our names put in them. We can’t wait until the next RIF day. Thank you Mrs. O and the rest of the Radford Woman’s Club!
While exploring the RIF web site, I found some great resources for reading! Try out this one – an Edward Lear poem called Calico Pie!

Salem Red Sox visit today
Austin reports: The Red Sox came today. The Red Sox had a mascot named Mugsy. He was a dog. We had to help Mugsy spell baseball.
Dalton writes: Today we had an assembly. The Red Sox came to school. Mugsy came. We helped Mugsy spell baseball and when we came out, we gave him a high five. I had a good time.
Abby reports: The Boston Red Sox won the World Series trophy. Mugsy is silly. The Red Sox play baseball. Mugsy is a dog. They’ll be playing in April 2009. Today Salem Red Sox workers and Mugsy were here. Mugsy had a little bit of trouble with his spelling but we helped him by playing a game.
The Salem Red Sox are sponsoring a Reading Incentive program for elementary students. We have to meet goals for reading to get to first, second, and third base. We get prizes from the Red Sox when each goal is met. Our final goal when we cross home plate is a free ticket to a Salem Red Sox game on May 15.
Hello Wonderful Ones!
To parents and teachers,
I am experimenting with building a blog! I hope to discover and develop ways to use it for teaching and learning. If you have any comments, questions, or just want to cheer me on, please comment! I am on a journey, teaching myself by exploring other blogs, reading posts, searching, twittering, and many other exciting things. More information about my classroom can be found on my web page.
