In Reader's Workshop, students are gong to need bookmarks. We discussed how when we are watching a good movie at home, we can press the pause button if we need to go and do something else. Bookmarks are kind of like the pause button to our reading. Only, with a bookmark, you need to reread a little bit before you just pick up the book and start reading new stuff where your bookmark is. You need to skim quickly with your eyes, until you remember what was happening in your book before you stopped. Bookmarks are marvelous tools that help us save time so we can get more precious reading in! Today, for five minutes while we listened to fun music, students made some bookmarks. We were trying to set a world record for the most people eating an apple at once. So at 2:12, our whole district, Whitehall schools and other schools in the area all chomped down on an apple at the same time. Yum! Then it was recess time! Since I had my camera from the apple eating, I thought I would snap a few pictures of the kids enjoying themselves.
