I hesitantly started reading Stewart Little to the class yesterday. There are a lot of big words, but I usually change them as I'm reading or give a quick explanation. Yesterday, one student blurted out, "This is boring!" but today I had several requests to read it. I think reading a chapter book to them will be really good for comprehension. Let me know if you hear anything about the book from your child. As I was reading today, the sun (the paper model that students made and was hanging from the ceiling) fell to the ground. The kids cracked me up because they started yelling things like, "The building is gonna catch on fire!" Be good for your guest teacher tomorrow!
