OUR OTHER BLOGS PART 2: READING BLOG

Besides our Class blog and our Writing blog, we also have a Reading blog - the 2M Reading Gems!

Our Reading blog is where we post about books

that we are reading.

It's a space where we will share our reading responses

to books we have read, post book reviews and recommend books we think others should read.

It's also a space for us to post audio of ourselves reading and reflect on our oral reading skills.

At the top of our Reading Blog you can also explore websites of our favourite authors and browse our Shelfari to see the books we are reading as a class.

Because of all the building work occurring right beside our classroom, it's been too noisy most days for us to record ourselves reading but now that our hall is finished, we'll be posting more often.

We'd love to know what you think about our reading and if you have any books that you love...please share them with us by leaving a comment on our Reading blog.

We'd love to read them too!

Our Reading blog is where we share books that we are reading.

Sometimes we will share our reading responses to books we have read and recommend books we think you should read.

It's also a space where we reflect on our oral reading skills and you can listen to audio of us reading.

On our Reading Blog you can also explore the websites of our favourite authors and browse our Shelfari to see the books we are reading as a class.

So please visit our reading blog.

We'd love to have your feedback about our reading and if you have any books that you love...please share them with us.

HAVE YOU WIMPED YOURSELF?

We love reading the 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' books...

and we love the website Wimp Yourself.

Wimp Yourself is a cool avatar generator site where you can create cartoon characters just like those in the 'Wimpy Kids' books. You can save the avatar you create in small, medium or large sizes.





Maybe you could create a whole lot of different characters and use them to write your own stories, maybe even your own 'Wimpy Kid' diaries.


Whatever you choose to do, we're sure there'll be lots of laughs and fun.

WHAT ARE WE BORROWING?

Wednesday's are LIBRARY days and today we had our first borrowing session for the year.

Many of us are now reading simple chapter books, with books from the ZAC POWER and TASHI series popular.

Have a look at the slideshow we made to see what we are reading this week.

BIG UNIVERSE - a GALAXY of READING!

2M, I know that you all love reading, so you're going to love this site - BIG UNIVERSE.

Big Universe is a fabulous site because not only can you read and purchase published books on -line (in a larger format than LOOKYBOOK) but you can also create your own!

At Big Universe I found a book about CHINA. I know that many of you are interested in learning about China's history of dynasties and emperors, so this book is perfect for you.

The other great thing about Big Universe is that if you really love a book you can share it with others. Simply send them a link to the book by email.

So explore BIG UNIVERSE - you'll be impressed and...I'm expecting lots of emails!

LOOKY HERE!

2M,
Here are two books I found that you should enjoy reading.
They go perfectly with areas we are focusing on during Literacy Block this week.
If you click on the 'eyes' you will be taken to a larger version on the LOOKYBOOK site.



Would you like to have these books as part of our classroom library?
Why?
