Scaredy Squirrel + Retelling with Chrysanthemum

It's official.  I have a great group of kids this year!  They love Read to Self!  They can't wait to practice Read to Someone!  And they are overall fun to be around.

Here are a few updates from the past few weeks.  First off our Scaredy Squirrels. 
My favourite comparison statement was: We both want fish :)   I love it!

We practiced retelling using pictures and words with Kevin Henkes' Chrysanthemum:

And the new book bins.  Thank goodness I splurged!  These bins have been on their heads and kicked around the classroom as the kids model their absolute "worst" Read to Self behaviours!
