May's Sunshine State Reader- The Girl Who Could Fly

The Girl Who Could Fly by Victoria Forester is Mrs. Appelman's May Sunshine State Reader.

Do you like to read stories about superheroes or X-men? This might be a book for you. Piper can fly, but she is not the only child with extraordinary abilities. Some of her classmates have x-ray vision, can move objects with their minds and even create their own weather. I hope you will join me in reading this exciting new story.

Kenny and the Dragon Book Nook

We had a wonderful Book Nook today. Four students from Mrs. Tyrie's room participated. I particularly liked the recipes that they thought the dragon, Grahame, would make better.

April Sunshine State Reader is Safe at Home

This is the April Sunshine State Reader. I have used a strategy to help build my reading stamina. I set a timer for 40 minutes and found a quiet spot to read. I did not allow any distrations and my focus was only on what I was reading. Suprisingly, I read a fourth of the book. It is very interesting and I am learning a bit about baseball.

Set a timer for yourself and dedicate time to just reading without interference from t.v, computers, games, cell phones, etc. Let's see how you do.

Remember the Book Nook for Safe at Home will be held on May 11. Question are due to Mrs. Appelman by MAY 9th. Click here for the questions
