Spent a little time this morning with some readers. Mrs. Ibarra's students updated their Reading Tree about books they are reading. Mrs. Carboni's class had a zoom with an author, Susan Friedland, who read her book Marguerite, Misty, & Me. She then spoke about being a writer.

When these super-smart Mathfact Masters came in to the office, I already knew they had their facts down, but I quizzed them anyway. And of course, they answered with lightning-fast recall! We talked about how knowing their math facts now will make math even easier as they get older. Of course we celebrated with a super loud hallway Yeehaw! Way to go, kiddos!

When PSPS students set a reading goal, they make it happen! Their hard work earned them a visit from former Harlem Globetrotter Corey the Dribbler. His presentation was full of energy, laughter, and great messages for our students.
