The Can Do Kids have been learning new Reading Stragegies each day in class!  Our main focus has been that READING is THINKING! and Comprehension in UNDERSTANDING!  We have wonderful readers in our 3rd grade class…our job is to make sure that they understand what they read 🙂 Here are the Can Do Kids singing “Schema Schema”!

Don’t forget to ask your child what SCHEMA means!!!!

Happy Reading!

What is more FUN than baLLOon PoppInG????

The kids really enjoyed choosing a balloon and having the opportunity to pop it by stomping on it, using a pin or whatever they wanted!!!  Then wala!  Out popped a “Getting to know you type of question!”  It was so much fun!  Thanks Can Do Kids for playing with us!  

For back to school we wanted to send a note home with each of our new students that would really make them smile.  We wanted something more than just a little slip of paper that said “Welcome Back”. We were  going for the FABULOUS FACTOR. 🙂 So, when Mrs. Peterson stumbled upon this concept I was pretty darn excited.  (Things like this make me feel like a kid on Christmas morning)  The idea is a scratch off  note.  Mrs. Peterson and I put our creative minds together and came up with this!!!  We LOVE working together!  The process was a bit time consuming…but totally worth it!  Happy Scratching!

This is one of my favorite books to start the school year off!  Not only do I love the illustrations, but I love thinking of the character in the story!  Day 2 of school and I am trying to teach love of reading to my sweet class!  I always model to them how important books are to me and how they are dear to my heart!  Every book is my favorite book!  In this text, I love how the character has a wild imagination with great describing words.  It really is a beautiful book!   This book is about how everyone needs a QUIET PlACE sometimes- rather to just think or to read…so after we read it we TURNed and TaLked about where OUR QuiEt PlaCe would be!  The discussions were so vivid!  I loved it!  Then we concluded with the question….Where Do GOOD Readers READ???  and this is what our FABULOUS students came up with!

We are so so so excited to meet you!
