The whole second grade read the book You Read to Me, I’ll Read to You: Very Short Fairy Tales by Mary Ann Hoberman. We had a lot of fun reading the short stories as partners. You can get very expressive and fall into the role that you are reading. We practiced our fluency and then were able to perform the stories and make a movie. We even created the settings and dressed as our favorite fairy tale characters. We had a really good time with these fairy tales. We think you would too! So, read You Read to Me, I’ll Read to You: Very Short Fairy Tales by Mary Ann Hoberman and maybe you will be transported to a magical world of fairy tales too!

I just read a comical book called Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. It was about a bedtime story taking place in a town called Chewandswallow and all of their food came from the sky. It never rained rain, snowed snow, or just blew wind. One day, the food got funky. One day there was nothing but stinky cheese, the next time it was just broccoli and it was all overcooked, and one time it was just peanut butter, brussel sprouts and mayonnaise. Then it got worse, the food kept getting bigger and bigger and BIGGER! The food broke houses and shops! Will the people be able to escape Chewandswallow? Read Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs by Judi Barrett to find out.
