Where Do Royal Subjects Like to Read?

Here or there or anywhere! 
They like to read in a tub or on a pillow, in a rocking chair or under a table, in the throne or wherever they're comfortable.
The Royal Subjects began some of their most important work of the year. Doing what we call Read to Self. And the question is why would they read by themselves? To quote their exact words: "to get smarter, to learn more, to get better and better, they like it, they love it, and it's FUN!"
Here's them doing all of that!














I'm Going to Eat You Up!

"Trip, trap, trip, trap!" went Jasmine (the little billy goat gruff)
Check out our class reenacting the Three Billy Goats Gruff story.
"Who's that trip trapping over my bridge?' said the mean old troll. (really Jack)

"Trip, trap" went the middle billy goat (Maya) across the bridge.

And then came the great big billy goat gruff. (Trenton)

"I'm going to eat you up!" didn't work with the big billy goat gruff.

Then everyone gets their turn acting out the story. 
A fun way to remember the details of the story, don't you think?

In the Gym for My Gym!

Warming up for My Gym

Everyone went through the obstacle course. Here's the stepping stones.


Last the trampoline.



And somewhere inbetween the balance board.

The hardest part was the balance handles.









Coach Jordan plays a listening game.

Chasing bubbles with all of our body parts!!
