Midwinter Break Book a Day

A few days before break I had all my students think about and write down their midwinter break reading goals on a sticky note. The notes were stuck to a bulletin board in the hall. (I'll update with a picture tomorrow.) Upon returning to school tomorrow the students will grab their note, read it to the group and let us know how their plans went. I did not read a book a day as I had planned and did not read as much as I had hoped. I guess this time I will be a role model for showing that reading plans don't always go as well as we hope. I'll also start to talk about my reading plans for spring break, a mere five weeks away.
