Summer 2014

     Another school year has come to an end! I hope you read as many great books this year as I did!

     I'm looking forward to sitting out in the sunshine with a good beach read, whether it's a "real" book or a book on my iPad (probably on my iPad), and a cold glass of iced tea. 

     Summer reading lists are posted on the school district's website, as well as in Westbrook's Virtual Backpack. These lists give you suggestions of great books to read. If you can't find anything you like there, another great place to look for a book is James Patterson's web site Read Kiddo Read. You can also go to the West Milford Township Library and ask for suggestions, or ask a friend what he or she has read and liked. 

     Have a wonderful, fun-filled summer. I can't wait to hear about all the fun things you did, and all the great books you read. See you in September!

Love,

Mrs. Gridley

Welcome to the Spring 2014 edition of Mrs. Gridley's Blog!

We've been so busy this year, reading so many great books and doing so many great projects.  Here are some of the books that have been FLYING off the shelves for the younger students:

For the older students, these books are really popular:

We've also been exploring websites such as Kerpoof, ABCYa, and Hour of Code. Sixth graders created a fake Facebook page (using Powerpoint), Fifth graders are becoming Excel experts, Fourth graders are becoming experts in Word, and First graders are learning how to find books in the non-fiction section of the library, not an easy task!
