The Beanstack Challenge is ON! My students have until September 30th to read 2 chapter books and add their names + titles to our growing challenge chart! Here’s to building reading stamina, discovering new books, and watching our readers GROW! 🌱

My classroom: part Pinterest board, part study guide, all anchor charts! 😜🧐😀 #WeAreRACERS #UnlockPotential @RCE_HCS

My 5th graders were all in with Judy Blume’s The Pain and the Great One! We had such a rich discussion about how perspective changes the way a story is told. #UnlockPotential @RCE_HCS

Teamwork makes the dream work! My 4th graders helped me anchor our learning by finishing up our anchor chart for narrative techniques. Love seeing their collaboration shine! @RCE_HCS #UnlockPotential
