This is an opportunity for kids to tell the class what book(s) they find to be a great read. Here is what some kids chose for books and why they recommended the book.

Earl - told us about his new kindle. The last one he fell down the stairs and got a fat lip and the kindle broke. It still worked a little, but didn't work that well.

 Fiona - Mazie gave me a wand for my birthday that was a butterfly that sparkled and had real jewels on it.

Bodhi- Shared a picture she made with a dog and cats.

FIELD TRIP on WEDNESDAY



FIELD TRIP MONEY IS DUE!!! We are headed to ECHO on Wednesday. Please send in money($11) for your child if you haven't. Also don't forget to pack your child a bagged lunch for that day.


Readers' Theater...
Thank you all who were able to come to the Readers' Theater performances on Thursday and Friday. All the kids had a great time working up to the day to perform their parts, and rocked it!




Trip to the Library...
We took a walk to the Warren Public Library on Friday. Marie the librarian taught us a little about the summer reading program. She also had a book to read to us, which happened to be Mo Willems Presents, That Is NOT A Good Idea. Turns out we did a read aloud with Marie, since it is a book we know so well and just had our own Readers' Theater for this book. We got to explore the library a bit. Lots of playing. Have you been to the library with your child? If not, you should definately try to, "That Would Be A GREAT Idea."
