I hope everyone's year has started off great. We've had some fun already and have only been back for eight days.
I kept the Reading Tent up for the first two days back since the students came back on a Thursday.
The kids were sad to see the tent come down, but I promised them it would be back next year.
I was glad I got to keep it up for longer this year because it is a lot of work to put it up, even if it is only made of paper. If you'd like to see how I did it, check out my time lapse video. I wish it really took only a minute and half to put up. =)
So that is just a little bit of what we've been up to in January. What about you?
I love how the libearians join Goldie in the reading tent at the end, so...
I decided to make my own reading tent.
I had been wanting to make use of the lighting area in the center of the media center for a while. You can kind of see it in this older picture above. After reading Goldie Socks and the Three Libearians for the 50th time, inspiration struck. It only took me about an hour and half to hang all the paper. Considering I had a 5 year old "helper" with me, I thought that wasn't too shabby.
Here's a video of me setting up the tent. I even had a little helper. =)
The kids LOVED it. I think the reading tent might have to make a yearly appearance. =)
What is your favorite spot to read?
P.S. Here is a link to the activity sheet I created to go with Goldie Socks and the Three Libearians. It's a free download. Just click HERE. =)
