And so it has come to pass that half a year has flown by in a blur. I don't know where the time went.
Last Tuesday, I did my first session of Summer Reading Program. I thought it went well. I think the kids were receptive to it. I hope I get some repeaters. We made poetry where you take a page and circle words that jump out then block out the rest. Then I had a huge pile of poetry lines in strips and they made poems from them.
Bless public domain websites like Project Gutenburg. They have a host of works that are free to download and read and use. 52,000+ books in multiple languages.
So it will be on to next Tuesday and the next session with the Theme of Art. du du dun!
Au revoir, mes amis. Okay, I don't speak French, but I like the language.

Yeah, isn't Project Gutenberg great?
ReplyDeleteYes. I'm happy to have found it. There are some fantastic books on there.
DeleteThat poetry idea sounds fun.
ReplyDeleteHow did this year already hit the halfway mark????
I don't know, but I hope we have a time shift to slow it down after July. I want a long fall of cool weather and beautiful skies.
DeleteThat sounds like a lot of fun! It would be a neat experience to teach kids about writing.
