I spoke to an 11th grader who was assigned the task of memorizing the Gettysburg Address. How is this preparing him for life? I don’t mean in real world experiences. How is the skill of large scale memorization in the era of the internet valuable?

This is me letting go. As my students are being challenged to push through as many books as they can before the end of the school year my room looks like a library has exploded. Books anywhere and everywhere. #readingchallenge #sd61learn #bookworms #raisingreaders #tillicumrocks
