Welcome to a new school year! I am so excited to be teaching a new program at CMS, Read 180! This class is research-based, data-driven, and proven to boost the reading abilities of students. We also have fun learning and get the opportunity to explore and enjoy new books (and those of you who know me, know I L-O-V-E to read!).
Read 180 is a three part program. During class, students will get direct instruction from me in a small-group setting. They will also have time to read a book chosen by them, and just at their reading level. Finally, students will spend time on our computers in class working on the Read 180 software. We also have several audiobooks for students to read and listen to, as well as articles available online through eReads. Students can access the Read 180 website, including the eReads and software, anywhere they have an Internet connection. Check out the link on my home page to make it easier to navigate!
Along with this new program, we also have brand new desks and chairs (all ergonomically correct, of course!), new cozy couches for reading, bookcases filled with new books, interactive whiteboards, plasma tvs, individual whiteboards, Chromebooks, and six brand new desktop computers! I think it is safe to say that we have the best classroom in Clintondale!
So, now that we have all this fantastic stuff, it's time to get to work! Check out this website for helpful tips and links, don't hesitate to ask questions, and get reading!
