Read to Self and Read to Someone!

This week we learned three different ways to read a book: 

• Read the words
• Read the pictures and tell your own story
• Retell a familiar story 

We also learned the word "stamina" means to do one thing for a long stretch of time. After learning what it looks like and sounds like to "Read to Self", we practiced building stamina! Our class record was 10 minutes 19 seconds of Reading to Self before an expectation was broken! We were all SO excited and proud!

Today we learned what it looks like and sounds like to "Read to Someone." In our classroom we can choose to read with another friend in our class or read to a furry friend. We learned this chant as a reminder of how we sit when we read with a friend so we can both see the illustrations:

Elbow, Elbow
Knee, Knee

I'll read to you
And you'll read to me!

It was a week filled with hard work! Have a great weekend!
Love,
Ms. Conlee
