Read to Someone Else

On Mondays we have been practicing Read to Someone Else.  There are 5 rules we must follow;
1.) Sit EEKK (elbow to elbow, knee to knee)
2.) Use a quiet voice.
3.) Get started right away.
4.) Stay in one spot.
5.) Read the whole time.

 These two partners illustrate exactly what Read to Someone Else should look like.

- The Spider Drop – put plastic spider on nose. Walk to pumpkin pail and drop in.

- The Ghost Ride - Ride roller board to cauldron, pick up Halloween treat and ride back.

- The Worm Snatch – Run across to paper plate and pick up a gummy worm with chopsticks.
