When I opened up my computer to write this little blurb, I thought would start with a peek into a conversation. Then I realized that wouldn’t work. It won’t work because no one was talking. We were reading. The students were reading. All of them were reading…. well, maybe some were just looking at pictures. Now this is not a special population of students. It’s just another group of 6th graders who had many other ideas about what they would rather be doing. But for this one point in time, we read together.
Hmmm…… how does a rowdy bunch of 6th graders settle in for a 20 minute “SSR” time? Is it timers? PBS tickets? Candy? Threats?
No, I just sat down and read.
