The final data is in…20 out of 24 students met their genre goals for trimester #2, thatʻs 83% of the class! One student…so close with 8 genres done! The students have been working as a team to make recommendations on great books, keeping track of the days together, and cheering each other on to hit reading targets together! We look forward to having everyone meet the 9 genre target in trimester #3, as well as completing 28 books each by the end of the school year! A bunch of students have already read one million words and working for two million now! #OTOD!

Hey kaʻu Iʻa a me nā Ohana 5B!
Thought youʻd like to check out the Minneapolis, Minnesota neighborhood…Home of Superbowl 2018! This is a shot, from a skyway 3 blocks away from the stadium, of just that from our friend Adam from Flipgrid! Get out your jackets….just hearing about the 3 degree temperature there makes me shiver! Canʻt be there in person, but we can virtually “fly like an eagle” to check it out through friends there! Can you tell who Iʻll be cheering on?
UPDATED: After the Eagles became the LII Super Bowl Champions… Loved what the Coach Peterson said, “An individual can make a difference, but a TEAM can make a MIRACLE!” 5B…#OTOD, Miracles here we come!
