Well, here we are at
another holiday. I was originally planning on reading these stories next week, but
with Science and History Fair, Winter Parties and Early Release, it didn’t
leave much time for reading a story.
I decided to include all
grade levels because I don’t get as many opportunities to just read a story to
3rd, 4th and 5th. It really touched my heart
when a 5th grade student told me that he “remembers when I used to
read to them when they were just little kids.” Out of the mouth of babes,
right?
I read How
Do Dinosaurs Say Merry Christmas? by Jane Yolen to Kindergarten. They
really loved seeing all of the unique dinosaurs in the story. I read The
Night Before Christmas by Clement C. Moore to First Grade. Since I had
read ‘Twas
the Night Before Thanksgiving to them, we discussed the similarities between
the two stories. For Second Grade, I read Fancy Nancy: Splendiferous Christmas
by Jane O’Connor. The kids loved seeing how fancy her house becomes at
Christmas time.
I read One
Snowy Night by M. Cristina Butler to Third Grade. It’s a wonderful
story of sharing and taking care of your friends. For Fourth Grade I read Snow
Bunny’s Christmas Wish by Rebecca Harry. This story’s message is to act
from your heart and wishes really do come true. And finally, I read Merry
Un Christmas by Mike Reiss to Fifth Grade. The students really enjoyed
the concept of Christmas 364 days out of the year. It was definitely a funny
story!
This will be the last
holiday for a while, so I’d like to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year!
