Reading...It's contagious

 I just love this photo...
The boys are so engaged in this animal book and they had a lively conversation about the alligators.  I had the pleasure of sitting back on Friday as the children dug into the crew library. What joy to watch them share books!

Three months into the year it is evident that the students now "feel like readers."  It is a gift that keeps on giving.  Now we are off and running.
Our work is to learn how and why people talk about books and we begin learning the "thinking tools" that good readers use.  I love this part of the year!

What's up this week?

• Belaying in PE. Thanks to all who are able to belay!
• Math test on Thursday.
• Library on Tuesday.  Remember to send in the books.

Have a wonderful week!
