Quiet Time and Read Aloud

We have been enjoying a bit of quiet time each day in class. Students are encouraged to use these 15 minutes to practice self-control. They may stay as busy as they like, with drawing, building, crafting, or even just listening.Each child is practicing being completely  independent( and quiet)at this time.!

At this time of day I have been reading alound from a chapter book called "Ragweed". This is the first title in a series commonly known as "The Poppy Books". These stories explore the animal live of Dimwood forest.

Ask your child where Ragweed is heading. ( to the city). What dangers may lurk there?(cats such as Silversides and Grayband).We are all wondering what will happen when Ragweed's train reaches the city.....
