Slice of Life: Read Across America (SOLSC2)

Every day in March, I will be writing a slice of life. I am participating in the 2016 Slice of Life challenge. Come on over to Two Writing Teachers to check out the amazing stories from many amazing bloggers!

Happy Read Across America Day! At our school, we celebrated with some silliness and some reading.

I loved having the father of one of my students come in to read to our class. It is so awesome to see how engaged students are during a read aloud. I love that we love reading so much. It was great to pause in our regular curriculum and invite someone into our reading community.

Then, this afternoon, my classroom was all abuzz because we were choosing picture books to practice reading. Tomorrow we will be reading to a 2nd grade class. I was so happy to see the excitement that my students had and their careful consideration in trying to pick out just the right books to read to their buddies. I am excited to continue celebrating our Read Across America week!

  1. I love it when our students show such deep consideration about anything, but especially when it is about books! I hope your kiddos have a great time reading to their 2nd grade buddies!

  2. I love how you said, “I love that we love reading so much.” You helped create that love for reading that your students have. That must feel amazing.
