Tuesday's Guest Readers!

Tuesday was a BIG day for reading! We had a LARGE list of celebrity parents and teachers walk through out door to surprise many faces, while sharing a favorite book of theirs.

Many stories we heard today had a reason for why their book was an all time favorite, a memory attached to the book, or a taught a lesson to give more of a purpose to the story.

Thank you to the super dad Mr. Houghton who began our Tuesday morning by sharing one chapter from the story The BFG! Even with one chapter, the students were reeled in! All students expressed many giggles and full attention during the read, while leaving with a couple new vocabulary terms taught from the story. Ask your child what a whizpopper is...they will LOVE to tell you!

Thank you Mr. Houghton for the great read! 

 

Thank you to the awesome Mrs. Schopieray to surprising our room, even with a sore throat and almost gone voice! She read I Am The Dog, where a dog and a boy switch spots. Now the dog sees what it's like to be human and the the boy finds out what it's like to be a dog! Very cute and interesting! Afterwards the students said they wanted to be a dog! However, we made them think a little bit about what they would be missing from not being human. There was a new thought for them...some changed their minds :)

Thank you Mrs. Schopieray! 

Our last read was the organized and persevering parent, Mrs. Stone! Thank you for ending our day with a fan favorite of a read and a thought to take with us. Mrs. Stone read, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day! Not only have most students read this before and loved it, we have read it in the classroom, and now they are hearing again. The best part is not a single student cared...it is still a story to get excited about and hear over and over. When it was over, Mrs. Stone talked to the students about having bad days and that it is okay! We all have them here and there, but like Alex, we are sometimes surrounded by our people who make it better.

Thank you Mrs. Stone for our last guest read in March!!
