Reading Month

Reading month was quite an event! We had three guest readers: Mrs. Martin, Sister Joan, and Mrs. Krause. Mrs. Martin shared a St. Patrick's Day story with the kids and then we made prayer boxes; Sister Joan read a book about peace and gave us bookmarks to write our peace pledge on. Finally, Mrs. Krause read 1-minute Easter stories. The kids had a read-in in Miss Blanton's class, we had a read a hat/shirt day, and a pajama day (always a crowd pleaser!). We buddied up with the preschool and read stories in the gym. The preschoolers then drew a picture to go with the story and dictated a sentence to the fourth graders. I was so proud of my students. They worked so well with the little ones! They asked questions, made predictions, and even explained the important aspects of a sentence! Unfortunately, we did not meet our 500 hour reading goal but we are still plugging away at it!
