Activity Day

(Artwork by Mrs. Rice)
I hope you had fun at Activity Day. I did! Someone said they wished that one of the centers was a reading station where kids could go somewhere quiet and cool and read for a little while. This made me wonder:


Do you have an idea for an Activity Station for next year?

Best Book of the Year Award

Think back about what you read this past school year. What was the best book you read or had read aloud to you?

I have to say...the book The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman kept me on the edge of my seat! It was spooky and mysterious and funny all at the same time. I also loved Moxy Maxwell Does Not Love Stuart Little by  Peggy Gifford and Stuart Little by EB White.

Mrs. Autovino and the Sorcerer's Stone

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about Harry Potter. I think you're right...I need to start at the beginning! Look at me, I'm all ready for summer!
Somebody also suggested that I watch the movies too. Good idea! I think that will be my reward at the end of the summer after I've finished the series.

It's Summer!

Isn't summer great? What is the first book you are planning to read as soon as vacation starts?


What's your favorite place to read?

My goal this summer is to finally finish reading the Harry Potter series! Can you believe I've only read the first three? I'm ashamed to admit it! Do you think I should go back and reread the first three books, or can I pick up with "Goblet of Fire"?

By far...my favorite reading spot is the hammock in my back yard.

Happy Reading!
