Swindle!

Swindle by Gordon Korman is a roller coaster of a novel! It's full of humour, suspense and a group of friends with their heart in the right place, but oh my goodness, what trouble they get into!

We're currently reading this novel at our Evening Meetings and loving it! I promised the boys and girls a wild ride, and when that bell goes at 3:30, we just want to keep reading!  

There was a movie that was loosely based on the book. And when I say "loosely", I mean it's like trying to call Kraft Dinner lasagna. It's...um...pretty bad. So let's not watch that okay?

My hope is that once we finish reading this story, the boys and girls will want to check out other books by Gordon Korman! 

It's Curriculum Night!

Parents and families of room 208, we'd like to invite you to our virtual Curriculum Night!  

A long overdue Room 208 update!

What would have been the world's longest blog post is now a still kinda long video! There's lots of good stuff here though, so pop some popcorn and learn all about what we're up to in Room 208! 

A new strategy to help with subtraction!

Have you met the Head family? Well, you're about to meet the most helpful group of folks in the subtraction world! They can take a complicated concept like regrouping and make it easy-peasy! Watch this video and you'll not only get to hear how bright my students are, but you'll make some new friends! 

Preparing for the Text of the Week (TOTW) test

The boys and girls will have their first Text of the Week test on Friday and there are two videos that will help them prepare!  

The tests always follow the same format and are usually returned to the students on Tuesday or Wednesday of the following week.
