A new year can be a new beginning for so many things! What are you tying new this year? Whatever it is, I hope it is positive and happy! Enjoy the rest of your break!
Reading aloud makes reading visible, showing students the intricacies of reading that they might not otherwise observe. Modeling fluency, expression, & tone will provide students with a framework for improving their reading skills.

Smiling can also boost your overall health by helping your immune system to function more effectively. It is thought that when you smile, immune function improves because you are more relaxed. #SMILES #HAWKPRIDE
Smiling not only can elevate your mood, but it can also change the moods of others for the better. Research suggests that SMILES are actually contagious. That means someone might spot your smile and unconsciously smile themselves. #SMILES #HAWKPRIDE
