Read Aloud

Today we read A Wish To Be A Christmas Tree by Colleen Monroe. This book tells the story of a tall, lonely tree that waits to be picked as someones Christmas tree. Every year he watches other trees get picked by families while he just gets taller and taller. He is very sad until his friends (a squirrel, birds, deer and other woodland creatures) help to make his Christmas wish finally come true by decorating him where he stands in the tree farm. It is a great story about friendship and hope!

Reading To our Class

Browsing Box Reading

After spending time reading leveled text from individual browsing boxes to themselves and to each other students asked if they could read to the class! Reading text at an appropriate level allows students to practice with the concepts of print and builds reading confidence and fluency.

Fire Station Decorations

We worked very hard to create some decorations to decorate the South Hero Fire Station as a community service project. We talked about what community service is and what it means to donate.
