By this I mean will they make an effort to reflect and think about what they are doing and what they are learning in ways we have done throughout the year.

We here in Ontario are heading into our testing -EQAO, for grades 3 and 6.
At the start of the year my goal is to instil a love of reading in my students. And that is what I ask of each child at the end of the year.
I love our read alouds – we have shared so many wonderful books this year and the children are making so many wonderful connections and deep thoughts about their reading as well.

Colored camouflage and wispy fights have emerged and it has been delightful. Donald Graves is a master :) It’s about the observation.

Thanks for sharing the process. Writing together is a powerful support as students move toward independence. I enjoyed the Voicethread as well.

I was relieved when I read you’ve been working at this for 4 years. You’ve shared some wonderful ideas and tools to help people get started. I love your thinking about this as a tool and not replacing what we know works. Being a book person myself I appreciate you sharing a resource to also help. You continue to give me lots to think about. Thank you.
