We are reading now...

With all the crazy storms looming in South Florida, we still met to discuss our book.  Way to be committed! The kids worked on Anagram puzzles, answered a few questions about the book to make sure we are all on the same "page" and we began to read the third chapter of the book.  I asked the kids to try to complete chapter four by the next meeting.  The kids seem to enjoy the challenge of the anagram puzzles and were able to discuss the puns they found in the book thus far.  I continue to be impressed with the level of concentration of these young children.  It has been a few years since I was in a classroom (teaching Middle School), but I can see the sillyness is still there.  This has become a challenge to me.  It is my hope that this week's activity will elimate the "silly feeding off each other" behaviors.  These children are all intelligent, creative, and passionate readers; I can't wait to see what they do next.  I hope to see you all this Wednesday at Borders.  Happy Reading!
