Reading

I already miss you all so much! I hope you are healthy and happy. What are you reading these days? I am reading a mystery. The characters witnessed a crime and now they are collecting clues to solve the mystery. I am also watching a bit of Disney + because it makes me feel good! 

I have been thinking about all of you and our weekly read alouds. So I made a video of me reading the book, Penguin Problems by Jory John. A second grader recommended it as a read aloud. I have posted the video on my Youtube page.  I hope you enjoy! Due to copyright law, I cannot post the videos here.

Second grade explores after reading about Bobbi Gibb

After our second graders read about Bobbi Gibb running the Boston Marathon, we used a tool called PebbleGo to discover other women from history. Each team was given clues about a famous woman, then the team used PebbleGo is locate the name of this person to discover why she was known in history. This was a challenging assignment that the students accomplished! They were able to learn about historic figures and conquer using the technology. Way to go, Champs!

 

 

Red Clover Titles we have enjoyed so far...

 

Red Clover Books are part of a state wide picture book award program. Each year there are 10 titles featured. We read them together as a part of our library curriculum and then discuss. In the spring all students (K-4) have the opportunity to vote for their favorite title. We have talked about friendship, family, and what interests us as a small piece of program so far this year.
Happy Reading everyone!

Believe it or not, it is almost time for our Book Fair! We will host a Scholastic fair on Sept. 30-Oct. 4, 2019. All information can be found on the Book Fair Homepage.
