Yesterday one of our students found a beach ball in our storage area. "Let's DO something with this!" he pleaded. Yes, we thought, let's do something with it. We wrote everyone's name on the ball and then let the kids pass the ball back and forth. Then they read the name their thumb was closest to after catching the ball. It was great fun, and wonderful practice in turn taking.
We have also been increasing our Read to Self and Read to Someone times. The class is settling into this routine so well. We have been able to work with individual children while they are reading. Thanks to everyone who sent books in for the book boxes. If you haven't sent books in for your child yet, find some books your child likes to "read" (think read the pictures, retell the story, read the words).
