Suggestion:  Ask students to choose their book for their book talk in advance (I think they would have been more likely to share their books if they had).]]> 2017-10-03 12:46:16 UTC https://padlet.com/csuiter/dn7ysdwymnqp/wish/193385041 https://padlet.com/csuiter/dn7ysdwymnqp/wish/193392788 One of the best parts of last night was watching the parents, kids and teachers all interacting in a relaxing, though warm, environment.  It was great.  Bravo

The lack of structure was the greatest benefit]]> 2017-10-03 13:02:10 UTC https://padlet.com/csuiter/dn7ysdwymnqp/wish/193393332 arobertson28 https://padlet.com/csuiter/dn7ysdwymnqp/wish/193394221 Kids seemed to have a great time! Parents commented about it being really neat. Some said "Why didn't ya'll do this last year!"
Several parents talked about how their kids LOVED middle school and that the year was so much better than years before!

Suggestion:
We need to have two sign in tables- one where it was last night and another at the other end by 6th grade camp. Had several come in that way due to parking by the gym being full.
I thought it was very organized and well planned though!!

I would love for the date to be a little later in the fall next year so we can enjoy the campfires a little more! ]]> 2017-10-03 13:05:37 UTC https://padlet.com/csuiter/dn7ysdwymnqp/wish/193395280 ebest1 https://padlet.com/csuiter/dn7ysdwymnqp/wish/193424798 Highlight;
It was very organized and still relaxed enough that everyone enjoyed themselves.
Suggestion:
Maybe a little later in fall to enjoy cooler weather. ]]> 2017-10-03 13:51:08 UTC https://padlet.com/csuiter/dn7ysdwymnqp/wish/193424798 kulmer2 https://padlet.com/csuiter/dn7ysdwymnqp/wish/193436669 Highlight:
One of my favorite parts was when a couple of parents said that their child would have never stood up and given a book talk last year, but this year they were excited about school and wanted to give a book talk. I think the relaxed atmosphere made them comfortable and confident.

Suggestion:
Maybe have it a little later when it is cooler or closer to dark to get the whole campfire experience?]]> 2017-10-03 14:08:27 UTC https://padlet.com/csuiter/dn7ysdwymnqp/wish/193436669 aduggar1 https://padlet.com/csuiter/dn7ysdwymnqp/wish/193439644 My favorite part of the wilderness read was watching everyone have fun and share about their books.  Next year, I would like to have it later in the year and start later in the evening.  I think things will go smoother next year now that we know what to expect.

I feel it went very smoothly for our first run with it in several years.
Suggestion- Maybe next time have things a little more planned out- student and teacher wise.  ]]> 2017-10-03 15:21:14 UTC https://padlet.com/csuiter/dn7ysdwymnqp/wish/193483434 dpope2 https://padlet.com/csuiter/dn7ysdwymnqp/wish/193633006 I enjoyed seeing all of my students share. I was very proud! I thought we had a great turnout, and it was nice to see all of the teachers collaborating to make it a nice experience for the parents and students. 

Suggestion:
Maybe have the date set before school starts so we know it is coming up and have more time prepare for it.]]> 2017-10-03 19:57:03 UTC https://padlet.com/csuiter/dn7ysdwymnqp/wish/193633006
