Sharing the Read-a-Thon with our EC Reading Buddies

Last Friday IST had a Read-a-Thon to celebrate our 50th Birthday. Yea! The celebration continues. After talking with Ms. Jane and my class, we thought it would be fun to read in the EC quad with our Reading Buddies.

It was such a fun morning! The kids grabbed their blankets, pillows, stuffed animals and favorite book before heading out the door to do some serious (but fun) reading. My kids reflected afterwards that it was a wonderful morning and it was even better because the small EC kids seemed to be getting more comfortable with them. (I think they forget what it was like when they were 3 and 4 years old!) Can't wait for the next time we hang out. Thanks Reading Buddies!

 

IST Read-In

Today was the Read to Feed all school Read-In. The kids grabbed their books and blankets and headed out to meet all of the other students. Students spread out their blankets, kicked off their shoes and plunged their nose in a book. It was wonderfully still. I took some time to read some of my favorite picture books. I read Tar Beach, Owl Moon and More Than Anything Else.
