Fairy Tale Bowl Books!!
Our 2nd graders have been completing activities in Seesaw for each book we read during library time. This is one example. We read Cinderella and matched the characters to something they did in the story.
Texas Bluebonnet Books!!
Students in 3rd-5th who read 5 Texas Bluebonnet books get to vote in January. My goal is for everyone in 3rd-5th grade to be able to vote!! We read all 5 books during library time. This is one of them. Students learned how the game Monopoly was invented!!
2x2 Reading Challenge!!
Students in Pk-1st have listened to our 2x2 books this year and completed activities in Seesaw!! This is an example of the activity students completed in Seesaw after we read Cake. Students decorated Cake and wrote a sentence.
