I have to let you in on a little secret….I have some AMAZING “Super” readers this year!  We are learning how to read some of our favorite, old storybooks by remembering what we know and reading the pictures.  This week we learned how to read using character voices with the book, The Three Billy Goats Gruff.  Our new curriculum suggested to wrap up favorite, old storybooks.  Check out their smiles in the picture!

Here are some videos of our “Super” readers:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqDnTugnsws

I’m trying to incorporate new games into our vocabulary instruction this year.  Our new favorite game is vocabulary basketball.  The boys took on the girls and created their team names:  Tigers vs. Butterflies.

Finally, we learned about shadows this Friday during science.  We went outside and traced shadows of our farm animals.  The sun was beautiful outside!  Just a reminder that National Teddy Bear Day is this Friday, September 9th and students may bring in a small, stuffed animal to celebrate for show and tell.  Please make sure their animal is small and can fit in their backpack.
