Happy New Year

Welcome back Walker Wolves!

I'm so excited to begin the 2nd half of our school year together! I hope everyone is well rested after winter break and ready to have a great 2nd semester. We have a lot of fun things coming up this year including our Bookman's Reading Challenge, Love of Reading month, TV Turnoff Week and more library skills/reference games. I can't wait to share all these events with the students at Walker.

We spent our first week back recapping the rules and expectations in the library. The kids took the lead and told me what is expected in the library rather than me lecturing to them. They did a great job detailing the rules and procedures and I think the 2nd semester will be even better than the first! We finished up by reading Too Many Toys by David Shannon. This was a fun story that is one of our Amphi Young Reader nominees. Ask your children what turned out to be Spencer's favorite toy.

We're kicking off our Reading Challenge this week and the details are coming home with your child and will follow on this blog. Happy New Year to everyone and thanks for all you do to make Walker a great school!
