What Are You Reading in January, 3rd Grade?

Welcome back to school!  I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas break, got lots of sleep, played inside and out, read a little each day, and are rested as we start the second half of our school year.

So, what are you  reading?

December Blogging

December is short and filled with activities.  We are all so busy that we aren't blogging this month but we will resume in January.

For those of you who would like a Christmas story, let me share this one with you from YouTube:   "Mitch Albom reads "A Wish to be a Christmas Tree", a children's Christmas book written by Colleen Monroe and illustrated by Michael Glenn Monroe."



Merry Christmas.

We are getting ready to do our shopping, and so there will be lots of posts this month as we share more books that we are reading.

This month we are going to concentrate summarizing the story in three sentences.  For example, I enjoyed reading a book called Ish to the kindergarten and first grade classes.  My blog would look something like this: 
                   In November I read Ish by Peter Reynolds.  Ramon loves to
                   draw, but his brother Leon laughs at his drawings because
                   they don't look "real".  Ramon is discouraged and decides
                   to stop drawing.  However, his sister Marisol tells him his 
                   drawings are "ish,"  which means they are close.  Ramon
                   discovers he loves to draw tree-ish, flower-ish, and
                   other -ish pictures.

Library Shop coming November 24th

Some of the items the students can purchase include beanie babies, Wimpy Kid books, drawing books, beads, toys, etc.  The loot in the picture is just some of what will be available.  There will be certificates for McDonald Happy Meals delivered in time for lunch, a popcorn & movie time for the class, a pizza lunch party for six, "Get Out of a Library Fine" card, "Read the Morning Announcements," plus more.

I need time to read your blogs and award stickers.

What are you reading in October, Parents?

Parents are wonderful role models and you are heroes to your children.  Part of letting them know that reading is important is to read yourself and let your children see you doing it!  Of course reading together is important, too, but just sitting in an easy chair with a book for just a few minutes per day speaks volumes to your child.
