Book Bins

This week we are trying something new with our classroom and Mrs. DePlaunty's (second grade) classroom. We have seven separate non-fiction reading bins in our classroom, with four students assigned to one bin. Each day they get choose a text from their selected bin which includes a large variety of books on a given topic. In addition, students also choose a graphic organizer to write an assigned response. Each day they will rotate bins so they have a different topic to read about. 

Today was our first day and all students were engaged and on task! 

Next Thursday, Mrs. DePlaunty and I will switch bins, which will introduce seven new topics to the students. This will continue until the end of the school year.

We took our reading outside to round out our morning with Book & Blanket! 

Beautiful day! 

Students did an awesome job reading outside, staying on task, and sharing their books and responses with a neighbor. 

Definitely will be doing this again!

Ducks!

Following Field Day we had a couple surprise visitors! 

Mrs. LeAnn from Kids Hope brought her own ducklings in to show the students. They were able to get a quick lesson on the life of a duck, hold one and feed them an early lunch. 

Very cool opportunity and loved by all!
