 7/21/08: We really enjoyed our very first Mystery Reader. Joel's dad came in to read The Cat in the Hat Comes Back. We each made our very own Vooms! Don't they look great? We cannot wait to see who our next Mystery Reader is. Stay tuned to find out!  7/28/08: Chloe's mom came to be our Mystery Reader on Monday. She even brought along a friend to help her read the book. He was a very well behaved dog. We read a great book that had a dog party at the end. So, we created our very own party hats and had "dog treats" to celebrate. Don't our hats look fabulous?! Wonder who next week's Mystery Reader is?  8/4/08: This week our Mystery Reader was Will's mom. She read Clap Your Hands. We got to act out this book. It was so much fun. We got to bark like a dog, cry like a baby,purr like a kitten and act like a clown. We are wonderful actors! See what silly faces we can make? Stay tuned for next week's Mystery Reader.
8/11/08: Mrs. Hurst was our Mystery Reader this week. She read Rainbow Fish. We had our very own fish with our name on it. We colored them and they will be displayed outside of our new classroom. I wonder who our mystery reader will be for our first week in our new school?
9/8/08: Today's Mystery Reader was Chloe's dad. He read a wonderful book by Jamie Lee Curtis called Is There Really A Human Race? We drew a self portrait and wrote about what we wanted to be when we grow up. Stay tuned for next week's Mystery Reader.
9/15/08: Megan's mom came today to read us a great story, one of her son's favorite bedtime stories. It was about a Gorilla named Goo-Goo. All the animals in the kingdom thought she was the prettiest little gorilla, until she couldn't stop crying and go to sleep. She kept the whole entire kingdom awake. It was a great story. We colored our very own Goo-Goo. We can't wait until next week's Mystery Reader!
 9/22/08: Ms. Heather, Kalia's mom was our Mystery Reader today. She read a fantastic story called Pumpkin Hill and it's just in time for fall. It was so funny! We all laughed out loud and loved the illustrations. We decorated our own pumpkins and turned them into jack-o-lanterns. Look how creative we are! Check back next week for the next Mystery Reader...shh it's a MYSTERY!
9/27/08:  Riley's mom came today to read a great Halloween story. It was called, The Little Old Lady Who Wasn't Afraid of Anything. It was a story about a lady that wasn't afraid of anything until one autumn day she hears a CLOMP, CLOMP, CLOMP. "I'm not afraid of you" she says, until the noises keep coming and coming and getting louder and louder. The little old lady that thought she wasn't afraid of anything, was actually scared. Until she uses her head to come up with a wonderful idea and everything comes out okay in the end. We can't wait to see who next week's reader is!

Have you ever seen a grouchy ladybug? Well, we meet one in our story today that Chloe's mom shared. Eric Carle's Grouchy Ladybug is a wonderful story. We learned how to tell time and that ladybugs eat aphids. We even had a taste of aphids our selves (they were actually raisins). And we made ladybug clocks that we took home so we could practice telling time. Wonder what is in store for next week?

Today Joel's mom came to read us a story about a T-Rex that went Trick-or-Treating. We got to create our own Halloween cards to give to a friend. Didn't they turn out great? It was so much fun. Can't wait for next week's Mystery Reader!

11/3/08: This week's Mystery Reader was Zach's dad. He read a funny story about a mouse. It was titled One is a Feast for a Mouse. The Thanksgiving feast is over, but the mouse sees one pea. He keeps adding little pieces of leftovers to his stack. The cat sees him...it is a story about giving thanks for the little things. We created turkey necklaces out of beads and foam cut outs. Happy Thanksgiving!
My Camera has been broken, so we haven't been able to make any posts. But I think it is up and running now.
