Read To Self!

We've been learning that to be great readers who love to read we need to read to ourselves every day.  We've been working on building our 'reading stamina'.  To do that, we've learned that during our READ-TO-SELF time, there are certain behaviors that we should have.  Here are a few of 

what the children came up with:

 Readers keep their eyes on the book and their minds thinking about what they're reading.

 

Readers use their mouths to mumble the words as they read. R

 Readers stay in the same place and don't move around the room.

 Readers focus on what they're reading.

 Readers choose a spot to read that will help them focus without distractions.

 Readers track the words as they read.

Enemy Pie!

After reading our new favorite book, Enemy Pie, we earned 'pie points' until we had filled up the pie.  Then we got to make our own version of Enemy Pie!  We started with mud and added worms and old fish, dirt, string...all kinds of strange things to get rid of enemies.  Then, of course, we ate it!  Now we'll forever be friends!  Strangely and disgustingly delicious!
