I enjoyed looking at these pictures this evening and realized that I didn’t share them with you yet. When I looked at our PJ and reading day, I couldn’t help but smile because there is nothing like snuggling up with a good book, blanket, stuffed animal and friend. These children have come so far with their reading and our focus lately has not been on decoding or fluency but rather comprehension strategies and book discussions. The children have been reading with a partner and making tracks in their journals to discuss the book. We have truly grown as readers because now we can talk about what we’ve read. I am so proud of each of these children!

In math and science, we came up with questions, generated hypotheses, developed surveys, collected data, and interpreted the results. The children had a great time making graphs and displaying their information on posters. The posters were delivered to GVSU for the statistics competition.
