For the Record!

Today was Readers' Cafe Day! The students enjoyed great discussions about Holling and Mrs. Baker. During this chapter, Holling continued his running and even received a bit of training from Mrs. Baker. He's careful not to run too fast around the 8th graders though. There are consequences for passing them that aren't too pleasant. Mrs. Baker showed once more how much she cares for Holling, by taking him to Opening Day at Yankee stadium. While there, he learns that Mrs. Baker ran in the Olympics! One of the players recognized her! We decided in cafe today that Mrs. Baker needs Holling and Holling needs Mrs. Baker. Pictured above in the slideshow are scenes from today's class and pictures of 'For the Record' projects. Each week, students have written impressions of the story, in a circular direction, like the grooves on a record. At the end, each student will think of a theme song for the story and write the title on the record. These will be on display next week following the exciting conclusion to the story.
