Today we started read to someone!

We added another component to our daily 5 literacy time, read to self! The boys and girls are learning how to sit EEKK (elbow, elbow, knee, knee) with the book in the middle so they both can see! They take turns reading a page each and helping eachother sound out the words. After they have read a page, their partner "checks for understanding" and tells their partner what they just heard them read.

They are doing awesome! Check out some of the students working so hard!

A pretty afternoon means science outside!

We used chalk and a fun mixture of shaving cream and glue to create pictures of clouds we have seen in the sky. When then added a story to our picture.
