We're Back!

We've spent the first couple of weeks back getting back into our groove. =) We talked about how we were used to staying up late and sleeping in… it made the first few days tricky! I know I was pretty exhausted by Friday!
We spent time reviewing routines and procedures... but I have to say, they didn't need too many reminders! They jumped back into it very quickly. :)
We have been talking about what makes good readers. Did you know the number #1 thing that good readers do (according to a recent scientific study) is to make connections? We are constantly being reminded of things from our own life as we read… and a lot of the time we don't even realize that we're doing this!
We read a couple of books The Relatives Came and Hazel's Amazing Mother, and Ira Sleeps Over. We talked about all of the things from our own lives that we were reminded of while we were reading.
