Guided Reading

Today for Guided Reading I was doing Independence Reading and then I did Writers Workshop. For independent reading, I read the book Slumber Party.

 

Prayer

For pray, the boys read out from the book and today’s prayer was about the ocean.

If I had a stone my pray  would be: “Dear God thank you for the ocean so we can have nature because animals live in the ocean.”
