Robert Munsch

Today we listened to a story called More Pies! by Robert Munsch.  We took notes on a clipboard, like we often see Ms. Rappaport and other teachers do. 

Check out Robert Munsch's website.  He reads his stories aloud, for free.  Want to listen to More Pies! again? or hear how Robert Munsch reads his own books?

Tomorrow we are going to be reporters where we ask our classmates questions about the story.  Some questions the teacher will give us, and some we will come up with ourselves... stay tuned!

October 3rd, Jumpstart's Read for the Record

I’m with Otis! Join the Otis Book Parade for Read for the Record on We Give Books

Take part in Read for the Record on We Give Books! We Give Books readers from across the country and around the world are coming together to show their support for early childhood literacy. Join me and Otis, the star of this year’s Jumpstart’s Read for the Record campaign, to set new reading records and stand up for children everywhere.

Presented in partnership with the Pearson Foundation, Jumpstart’s Read for the Record highlights the need for high quality early education in America by mobilizing children and adults to set a record for the largest shared reading event to support Jumpstart’s mission to work toward the day every child in America enters kindergarten prepared to succeed. When you Read for the Record on We Give Books, either online or on the We Give Books app, you will also help set a new digital reading record.

The fun lasts more than just one day! On We Give Books, you can read, give, and share with Otis all season long in the Otis Book Parade, a digital book club for kids. Each week leading up to Read for the Record on October 3, they will feature a special book from their library, online and on their new app, along with reading resources that highlight values exemplified by Otis. We Give Books also has fun Otis activities and ways for you to share your reading celebrations. Join the Parade at wegivebooks.org/readfortherecord, and tell everyone, “I’m with Otis!”

Molly Lou Melon

We've read many books this month and focused in on characters and how their feelings change over time.
Recently we read a story with the character Molly Lou Melon.  Check out another story with the same main character entitled Have Fun, Molly Lou Melon at We Give Books.

Revisit the story we read in class too!
