The Chrysler Museum has a special exhibit this summer on the artwork of "Curious George". I took both of my sons about two weeks ago and they loved the artwork. One of the best parts of the exhibit was a reading room filled with Curious George books and comfy chairs for kiddos and parents to read.

Don't forget to sign up your child for Barnes and Noble's free summer reading program- fabulous! Click on picture above for more information.

Thank you so much to Mrs Grant for all the tips and ideas for free family activities and educational events:)

100 Books!

I was so surprised today when I received data from our school library about how many books all of my kindergarten friends had checked out this year- 2069! WOW! We also had a group that checked out over 100 books this year from our school library (pictured above). This is the first year that someone in my class has checked out over 100 books and it was five students! Great job to everyone in my class for making reading a priority at home. Because of SOLS, we are really not able to checkout books this week or next because the library is being used as a testing area. I'll keep you posted on any new updates. Thanks!

Our New Chapter Book

We just finished reading Because of Winn-Dixie and we will start reading The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. This book is always a favorite in kindergarten. One of my students last year said, "It will make you laugh and cry- it is my favorite book!"

We Love Charlotte's Web

Today we finished Charlotte's Web and it was so exciting. Since we have SOLS in our school and we have to be very quiet (no recess, no library, and no computer lab). We have begun watching the movie. The students love to see the our latest chapter book come alive on our big smartboard screen.
