AM ClassWe held our first Read & Feed of the year on the last day of the first semester. A Read & Feed is when students bring snacks, drinks, and books and read and feed for the whole period. The last day of the semester was an early release day, but our students enjoyed this assignment-free activity even though the periods were much shorter. I believe Read & Feeds are just one more way children can find pleasure in reading.
PM Class
PM ClassA highlight of the day was when my one and only nephew Nathan stopped by for a visit. Nathan is the son of my sister Carla and Mrs. Gunn's cousin Todd Hood. The Hoods are missionaries to Jamaica, and they were able to come home for Christmas this year. My students hear me talk about Nathan so much they should be sick of it, but they all seemed so happy to meet him. Nathan, who is a first-grader at Montego Bay Christian Academy, made himself at home and read a couple of books himself. It was a special day in many ways and the perfect ending to the semester.

Nothin' better!
Chance, thanks for taking an interest in Nathan and making him feel right at home!

HI AGAIN MR.BLOUNT ITS CHANCE AND NICK

your student,
Fidelis[a.k.a Chance]
Hi Chance! So glad you are using our class blog. There's probably not much of a "chance" that our whole class will read a Deltora book, much less a series. I pretty much have all of the books selected for our focus titles. But I'm happy you have found a series you like, and a series you have helped to catch the interest of other students. Thanks also for Elephant Run! You are a generous and good-hearted young man . . . . Mr. B.
