Ms. Decker's Homework Helper

When I get home from school after a long day I'm tired, hungry and I STILL have work to do. Often this is who you will find helping me do my homework and grade your's! Josie is very loyal.

Coach Hood & EKU Football Visit

On Tuesday afternoon, Coach Hood and some of the EKU Football players came to GME to talk to our students about making GOOD CHOICES in life and FEEDING THE GOOD WOLF inside us. It was a good reason for the GME teachers to wear their EKU shirts! 

Specific Reading Strategy Instruction

We learned TWO new reading strategies to help us comprehend what we are reading!

DUE FRIDAY!

1 Book Review & 1 AR Test are due Friday!

Students may take AR tests in the morning before 8:15 am, during our silent reading time or after they are packed up to go home in the afternoons.

AR Book Finder

Use this website to see if books are AR. I'm not a big AR pusher, but I do want my students to have an individualized reading assessment every week.
