Diary of a Wimpy Kid Day!!!

I am not sure why the formatting is strange on this post, but it won't change, sorry. 

We all had a blast celebrating the release of the 10th Diary of a Wimpy Kid book, Old School. We watched a couple of things from the Wimpy Kid Youtube channel and learned how to draw Greg Heffley. 

We waited for the UPS truck to deliver the books in the afternoon. Then we had a big block of reading time with our new books! The students were thrilled to have their own copies to keep. Thanks to all our amazing parents for supporting our enthusiasm for reading!

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Day!

On Wed, November 5 our classes celebrated the release of the newest Diary of a Wimpy Kid book, The Long Haul.  A copy for each student was provided by the donations of generous parents and with bonus points earned through parent orders through our monthly book orders. We appreciate your support!

The students learned how to draw Greg Heffley from the creator of the diary of a Wimpy kid series. 

Then they got their books and had time to read them alone or with their friends.

We Got New Books!

Thanks to the generosity of many parents, family members and anonymous donors, we were able to get about 50 new books for the classroom through a website called Donors Choose. The books totaled $575!!!

Last week we "released" the books and many have yet to find their way back to the shelves. 

Thanks again to all who were able to donate! We love new books!

Read Across America Week

We had a great time during Read Across America Week!

Parent volunteers decorated classroom doors with the teacher's favorite book.

World Read Aloud Day was Wednesday!

There were lots of read alouds throughout the day.

We Skyped with author, Laurel Snyder.  She read part of her newest book to us and asked our opinion on the cover design for the paperback version. 

We read aloud to each other. 

Friday was "Seussical" hair day!
