Summer Preview- Reading Outdoors!

Fourth grade members of the book club that read Into the Land of the Unicorns celebrated finishing their book. After sharing a snack and talking about the aspects of the book they loved, all selected an independent reading book and went outside.  The first task was to choose an area on our campus to settle into reading. There are so many possibilities that this took a few minutes. The anticipation of sinking into reading in a beautiful setting made this process enjoyable. Once the just right spot was picked, everyone settled into reading. The chirping of birds, and the sound of a light breeze blowing through the leaves were soothing sounds. On the way back to the classroom, students shared about the characters and plot in their book. Students definitely had books that their friends were reading on this beautiful day that they wanted to remember for their own summer reading. There are still a few weeks left of school, but we can imagine and anticipate the reading lives that await us during the summer.
