reading to learn

Quiet reading time took on a new dimension last week.

As well as all the regular reading activities, I noticed a group of girls in unusual reading poses.

I think that they were attempting this.

The girls had looked through a pile of books on my story chair and found a book that they had not made it's way to the bookshelf.

This book has won 8 different awards.

I guess that if you look at a book that connects yoga poses to letters of the alphabet and different animals, you just have to try them out!

Quiet reading time finished up with a cobra pose.

We talk about 3 different ways to read a book: reading the words, reading the pictures, and retelling the story.

These kidlets were working together and reading the pictures to learn something new.

I was a happy teacher.
