Reading Week has kicked off with a bang!
Yesterday we were all excited to get extra silent reading time (yes, this is something that THIS teacher was very happy about as well because I also got to indulge in some extra reading)! 🙂
Today, we learnt a lot of information about the author of Number the Stars; Lois Lowry. We even got to listen to one of her interviews online! We also took a few minutes to discuss just what it meant to be placed in a concentration camp and listened to a few short interviews with actual Holocaust survivors.
The next few days will also be exciting around here with tomorrow being Buddy Reading, Thursday being You’re Underst Arrest (arrest someone to read for your class) and the last oorah…Dress Up as a Book Character Day. Fun days are certainly ahead! Be sure to send an extra book/books with your child/children so that they can truly enjoy their extra silent reading time.
