Read Aloud

Well, after months of reading, discussing, and always up against the clock we have finally finished "Holes". The kids have enjoyed this since we began back in September. As a treat today for all the hard work and learning about what good readers think, do, and say while reading the students watched the movie that follows very close to the book. If you were here during the read alouds you would have thought the characters were part of our classroom. As a teacher, that is the mountain top of a good book when the kids get into a book that deep. I am very proud of them. I wonder what we will begin next.
