Last night we had our 2nd annual poetry slam here at Meadowbrook Middle School. It was success, and everyone enjoyed themselves. We had a wonderful Master of Ceremony/coach, Micheal Guinn with the DFW Slam team that helped inspire the kids about the spoken word. We look forward to our second one for the year in April.

Book Club Coming along nicely
Well today we almost finished the book Lock Down Escape from Furnace. We have one chapter left. It is a good book and the kids are enjoying it. We are not moving on to the sequel because we will start the Mortal Instruments series: City of Bones. We are all excited. The kids have started blogging and made a Prezi and Animoto about the book. We will have our breakfast next Wednesday and kick off our new series and celebrate finishing our first novel. I am very excited about this since I know three or four people that absolutely love this series.
We do need to kick it up a notch and try to read more each day. My students also can take the book for the day and read during their SSR time, but they must bring it back at the end of the day just in case they don't make it back the next morning.
