@LynMullalyHunt I read this every year to my 5th graders and they are always begging me for me. This year, a student who doesn't like reading ate up every minute of the read aloud and was sad when we finished.
In lieu of an โicebreakerโ to launch the new school year..think about having each grade or team in your building have time to share, put their accomplishments together, share them with colleagues, students, parents and the community. Would celebrate teacher voice !
