Peru Pictures!
Hello again clase! I’m in Peru!
I miss you and hope you boys and girls are being good and having a good day!
The plane ride was so cool-I took lots of pictures so I will show you when I get back!
So far we have been to a big neighborhood and talked to lots of people! We invited them to come see a movie about Jesus and there were over 100 people that came to see it! The children here are so cute and they are amazed to have even one piece of candy. We are really lucky in America!
Have a good day and work hard, I’ll write tomorrow if I can! 
Hello class!
I am getting ready to go to Peru! I am just checking to see if this works. I will be writing to you often while I’m in Peru, hopefully everyday. I will tell you all about the kids and the country, as well as how our mission work is going! Be good and I’ll talk to you soon!

Reading Assessment
The reading assessment was a great experience and really gave me a look into what teachers must know and find out about students. It is imperative that students are placed into the proper reading levels and are given appropriate instruction. Through our reading assessment, we were able to find the frustrational, independent, and instructional levels of our student. We were also able to point out some areas which needed special attention and suggest books for the student as well as strategies for improvement. The assessment was a great way to reach these conclusions and will be very helpful in my future class!
Peter and the Starcatchers
Peter and the Starcatchers was an awesome book that I can’t wait to use in my classroom. I enjoyed reading the book and the amazing adventure I it took me on with every page! Here is an awesome site I found that has great links and activities that go along with the book!

“Say what you need to say”
Words can mean
so much or so little,
like playing a tack
or playing a fiddle,
words can mean
so much or so little.
Words can seem
so big or so small,
like shopping at Cato
or going to the mall,
words can seem
so big or so small.
My Lovely Purple Shoe
With a hole at the toe you let out my color, you beckon and call but not for my mother.
Your long flat body, your sleek purple sides, fill me with spunk as long are my strides.
Oh, Ice Cream Sundae
You brighten up my rainy night with your pink glitter!
You look
You taste
You are
SO SWEET!
I feel a little guilty,
but I won’t let that stop me.
mmmm…..

First Impressions
First impressions are like rough drafts;
sketches;
the first time you see a movie;
reading the back of a book;
finding a leaf in the summer.
We don’t see the finished story;
the final picture;
don’t understand the whole plot;
get the info inside;
see its other colors.
Sometimes we have to wait;
for the masterpiece;
the special features;
to meet the author;
Autumn’s appearance.
Other times we have to wad it up, toss it in the garbage and START OVER!
