iMovies about African Elephants

Second grade students created iMovies after reading a book called, "All about African Elephants," using information they learned from the story. Enjoy!

I came across this website today http://www.readkiddoread.com/
James Patterson is an author and on this website he suggests how to get kids to become readers.  He gives suggestions of where parents can find books for reluctant readers, boys and also gives book titles for different age groups.  He states the obvious: The more kids read, the better readers they become.  When the weather outside is cold, snowy and windy (like this week has been), grab your kids, snuggle up, and read a good book or two together. You will be building a bonding relationship and helping your child become a reader.  Enjoy this time together!

Welcome To My Reading Room Blog!

This is my very first attempt at creating a classroom blog.  I am not really sure what I am doing yet, so you will have to bear with me as I learn what blogging is all about.

I have high hopes for this blog.  My hopes include:
1. Sharing reading strategies for parents and students,
2. Sharing student work,
3. Giving updates on what students are reading and learning, and
4. Providing websites students can use to work on reading skills.

I hope you visit often! Please contact me if you have any questions or comments.
Here's hoping this blog goes well!
