Awesome Summer Reader #2!

Tukie recommends the Pokemon graphic novels to all of you.  Did you know they go from right to left instead of left to right?  I didn’t.  He is on book #2 of this series, and then he will already have completed three books this summer.  Who’s up for joining Mrs. Shedd and Tukie in the summer reading challenge?  Yeah, Tukie!

Our First Summer Reader Reporting In . . . .

Every summer, the blog switches over from daily classroom news to fun summer news of interest to our class and the incoming class.  One tradition is to post photos of our community reading in all sorts of fascinating summer places.  Mrs. Shedd, our class reading champion who beats us all every year, sent this photo today of reading to her grandchildren in Michigan.  Our first reader reporting in!

I also just finished gluing her tea party thank you note to go with her thank you grocery gift card.  Each student designed a teacup that showed his or her personality in some way, and it came out so very cute.  Ta da!

Biblionasium

I have been exploring a cool site called Biblionasium.  Your family might enjoy trying it this summer as a fun place to log your summer reading.  If your family likes it, let me know and maybe we’ll use it next year as a class.

What is it?
“Biblionasium is the fun, reading-focused social network for kids ages 6-13. Connecting kids in an encouraging community of friends, family and their educators, Biblionasium excites, engages and encourages a love of the written word. Kids can log their reading, play games, complete reading challenges and earn rewards within a safe social network built especially for them.”
