A Day of Reading!!!

Alex and the book he checked out from the school library.

The letter we received.

  

Reading Alex's library book (I read it to them, but thought this was too cute)! 

Alex and his class got to go to the school library today and check out library books for the very first time.  This was exciting because we were originally told that Pre-K students would not be allowed to check out books from the school library.  Alex was very excited when I picked him up.  He showed me the book he checked out and I promised I would read it to all three of them after lunch.  When everyone was finished eating I asked Alex to get his library book and take it to the love seat. Logan and Caison followed and Alex started showing them pictures in the book.  It was so cute.  I took a picture and let them sit and look through the book for a few minutes before I joined them and we read the book.  It was a cute book.  The boys would laugh at certain parts and Caison asked me to read it again-so I did.  After that first book I let Caison and Logan each pick a book that we could read.  Caison and Logan both wanted to be Cowboy from the Cowboy & Octopus book.   It was so cute.  Logan picked Let's Do Nothing! I encouraged the boys to act out different parts of the story after we read it.  They were giggling and having a great time.

Logan's turn to be Cowboy.

Then we read Let's Do Nothing! 

In the story the characters try to do nothing.  They pretend they are statues sitting perfectly still in a park. One of the boys' imaginations always gets the best of him and he imagines a pigeon sitting on his head, then another pigeon, and another until he is covered in pigeons.  He goes crazy trying to wave all the pigeons away and his friend looks at him as if he is crazy because, after all, it is only pretend, right? 

Here, Logan is the statue and Caison is the pigeon.  Logan is trying to shoo the pigeon away.  They had a lot of fun with this book! 

Below, Logan and Caison are pretending to be trees like the boys in the story.  The picture of the characters in the book pretending to be trees is standing in front of them.
