403 Scholars Book Recommendation

Have you ever seen a monkey in ladies bloomers? How would he get there? We read The Circus Ship by Chris Van Dusen. It is about a circus ship traveling to Boston when suddenly it crashes into an unexpected rock. What will happen to all of the animals? You should read this fictional book because it is funny and has excellent illustrations. Read to find out what happens next.

Buzzing Bees

We have started buzzing during Reading Workshop. When we buzz we share our thoughts about our book in a small group. Here is how a couple Scholars feel about buzzing:

"I feel happy because I get to share my thoughts with my group." - Shunte'

"I like buzzing because it tells other people how I feel about books." - Shawn


Pema listens closely as Caleb begins to buzz about his book.

Oh Kler, Lara, and Shunte' are busy buzzing.

Sydney is so interested in Aye Tar's book!

Look at all those notes! Jack and Kyrin are excellent buzzers!
