We Like to Read! We Do! We Do!

We can read in a chair or in a tub. We can read under a table or on a pillow. We can read anywhere!

Last week we began some of our most important work for the year. It's called Read to Self. Why do kindergartners want to read to themselves? Well, they know that to be a good reader the most important thing to do is to practice reading! They also want to get smarter and build big brain muscles.

And best of all, it's FUN!

We can read 3 ways -- by reading the pictures, by retelling a familiar story and by reading the words.

Check out our fabulous readers doing Read to Self.

 Brayden is rocking to read in the rocking chair.

 Robert is excellent at retelling Little Red Riding Hood.

 Rub a Dub Dub, Rose  and Ja"Kori read in a tub!

 Evan is under the table. We call it the cave!

 Sanaa chills out by her pillow.

 Jakai is on the road with his reading.

 Bella relaxes on the reading bench.

 Lyzaiah is swamped with reading in the alligator chair.

 Doria definitely knows how to hibernate with a good book.

 Colby is running away with reading the Gingerbread Baby story.

 Gabby has her brain in motion with her Alphamotion book.

 Jacob is showing big attitude toward reading while under Little Daddy.

And how do we celebrate our best work in reading? By dancing the Tooty Ta, of course!
