Over the past week, there have been so many Flyertime successes, engaging kids in getting to know one another, supporting our community by giving to kids in Ferguson, and great book discussions.
Flyertime success is a direct result of the tone we set and the effort we make to connect to kids and model the importance of the class. Check out these great 5 star reviews (wording courtesy of Miss Marrone's summer reading discussion).

| Using resources shared among TMS staff, this picture shows the value of formalizing Flyertime with a daily agenda. |
 |
| In this book discussion, students discussed the book, rather than just reading the summary sheet. By having students put down their summary sheet, we emphasize dialogue over "talk at you" presentations. |
 |
| Setting up the classroom in a circle facilitates better discussion. Kids make eye contact with one another and provide feedback to one another to continue the conversation. |
 |
| Clearly, Divergent and Fault in Our Stars were popular reads this summer. Students added their thoughts as these popular books were discussed. |
