Thank you to all of our SURPRISE guest readers this week!!
The students had so much fun wondering who was going to be walking into our classroom and what story we were going to hear. Even if the stories were new or old we love a great read aloud and can't get enough!
Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Wandel! We had a duo of parents!!
We, especially Mallory, were lucky enough to hear two stories back to back!
The Green Tortoise
Author and illustrator Eric Carle, writes about a foolish tortoise finds a way out of his heavy shell. The only problem is, once he leaves his home, he’s too scared to walk anywhere! This silly tortoise learns the hard way that there’s no place like home.
Walt and Pepper
A fun story by Lisl Weil. A neighboring cat and dog think they are enemies until one of them is missing for a while. Very cute story!
Thank you Mrs. Schook!
The students listened and laughed with the stories and poems read from Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shell Silverstein!
This classic collection of work is both outrageously funny and at times profound!
Thank you Mrs. Dion!!
We heard the catchy story Tikki Tikki Tembo.
Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-
chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo!
chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo!
The students loved to hear about the boy with the long name who fell down into a well. Writers Arlene Mosel and Blair Lent's re-create an ancient Chinese folktale and hooked our attention.
Thank you Mrs. Slader!!
We heard The Giving Tree. written and illustrated by the gifted and versatile Shel Silverstein.
Once there was a tree...and she loved a boy
This is a tender story, touched with sadness, but shows the gift of giving, with open interpretation in the end.
Thank you Mrs. Maniaci!!
We started a pioneer adventure perfect for fans of Laura Ingalls Wilder. This book not only connected to the Westward Expansion we are learning in the classroom, but also to the play Laura Ingalls Wilder we saw at Lars Hockstead. She was only two chapters in, so we look forward to Mrs. Maniaci's visit again next week to hear more!
Thank you Mrs. Schripsema!
We heard An Awesome Book! Literally!
This book was based on the simple concept of dreaming big! The inspiring book was written and illustrated by Dallas Clayton.
Thank you again to all our guest readers!
Please sign up if you are interested in reading to our classroom next week. There is still room!
Here is the sign up.
