All About Sharks

Three first graders read the book, "All About Sharks."  Their excitement could not be contained.  Each student wrote four sentences about what he learned about sharks and then made an imovie to showcase his learning.

World Read Aloud Day (WRAD)


To celebrate World Read Aloud Day on Wednesday, March 5th, I am asking your child to bring his or her favorite Read Aloud book to school to share during our Title I or Reading Recovery class time.  The book can be one that your child knows how to read by him/herself, or it can be a book that he/she loves to hear you read aloud.  I will be reading aloud to the students and then they can either read their book to the class or I can read their book aloud to the class.

Let’s see how many books we can read together in celebration of World Read Aloud Day, Wednesday, March 5, 2014.  Please let me know if you have questions.

Read Across America

There were A LOT of fun activities in school today celebrating Read Across America Day and Dr. Seuss' Birthday.  We celebrated in our Reading Room by "Camping out and Reading."  Students brought a flashlight from home, chose a Dr. Seuss book and Dr. Seuss stuffed animal character and headed into the play tent to read.  Students ate colored goldfish crackers as they enjoyed reading the fun filled books by Dr. Seuss.  Mrs. Foster also read some books to the students.  Some of the Dr. Seuss books that we read today included:
  • The Cat In The Hat
  • Oh, the Thinks You Can Think!
  • Go, Dog. Go!
  • The Foot Book
  • In a People House
  • One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish
  • Ten Apples Up on Top!
  • And To Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street
  • The Tooth Book
  • Hop on Pop
  • Hooray for Diffendoofer Day!
  • How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Below are some of the pictures of the different students and groups sharing their love of reading and Dr. Seuss!
