We started off the week by sharing our book recommendations and series books with the students in Mrs. Dyer's classroom. To see a slide show visit Mrs. Dyer's Blog. On Tuesday we had our first meeting with our new Kindergarten Book Buddies in Mrs. Canfield's class. We will be meeting with them to share books and writing pieces for the rest of the year!

In Reader's Workshop we began a new unit of study for the month of February. We will be learning about how to build stamina, fluency, and comprehension in longer books. This week we thought about strategies for tuning out distractions around us while we are reading and setting goals for how many pages we want to read. Doing these things helps us to read LONG and STRONG!
On Thursday all of ABS celebrated filling the Buzzy Jar by gathering together in the gym to do a whole school Hokey Pokey Dance. It was such a fun way to come together and celebrate our accomplishments as a school. We are also working on earning teamwork buzzies for our classroom by using cooperation and kindness with our friends, classmates, and teammates.
I think reading to a kindergartner will help Chase with reading slowly and pronouncing his words well. And it will be fun!
