“What is your favorite weekend activity?” the Second Grade teacher asked her students this week.
“Drinking lemonade and reading a book,” one students answered. Wow…sign me up.
“The more you read the better a writer you become.” I’m sure you’ve heard this one. I remind my students of this all the time. Watching the Second Graders do their independent reading for 20 minutes, where there are no sounds and everyone in simply focused on one activity – reading – is simply joyous.
In our noise-crazed world it seems out of time, as well.
