Upcoming Dates and Book Suggestions!

January and February are extremely busy months at Trinity! Thank you for hanging on tight and giving it your all! Thank you for your prayers and support this week as we move into our kindergarten testing on Wednesday and Thursday (2/2 and 2/3). To keep us all updated, here are a few important upcoming events:

*Monday, Jan. 31 Bi-grade level meeting for grades 4/5
*Monday, Feb. 7 All School Faculty Meeting/ Midterm Reports
*Monday, Feb. 14 Valentine Parties (1:45-2:45 p.m.)
*Monday, Feb. 14 LS Faculty Meeting (brief)
*Mon-Wed., Feb.14-16 Fifth Grade Space Camp Trip
*Monday, Feb. 21 Holiday
*Wednesday, Feb. 23 LS Chapel

As I read through professional journals and websites, the following three books keep turning up as "must reads" for professional educators. Remember, these may be purchased using your professional development funds and the school credit card. Ask Linda for assistance if needed! All are available on Amazon.com as well.

*Reciprocal Teaching at Work(2nd ed.)by Lori D. Oczkus
*Revisiting Silent Reading by Hiebert & Reutzel
*Teaching Reading in Small Groups by Jennifer Serravallo

One last thing . . . a word of thanks to the 2nd grade teachers, Mrs. Ahna, Mrs. Aitken, Mrs. Roth, and Mrs. Helms for a super Grandparents Day Celebration last week!

Have a great week!
