Sushi, anyone?

 My students worked on ILP's (Independent Learning Projects) near the end of the year. Each student chose a topic they wanted to learn more about. One of my students is the son of a chef and he chose to learn about sushi! His father volunteered to come in and make sushi for the students and talk a bit about culture, and the nutritional value of sushi!

It's been a while!

Wow! I cant believe I have not posted since February! This year just flew by!  I am technically on summer vacation, but was informed that I will be moving rooms next year so I have been working on packing up stuff. I will also have two new grade level partners next year! So excited about that!

SUMMER READING!
  I tend to spend a lot of time in the summer reading professional development books. My current topic of interest is Conferring and I cant wait for my new book to arrive:
 

I also cannot wait until July 20th! I am going to see The Sisters in MA for a Daily 5 conference.
