Sharing our Skills with the KF Dragons

Lobel, A. (1971). Frog and toad together. China: Harper Collins

We have such fun reading to our Cold Springs Elementary Kindergarten friends from Mr. Fines' Class (The KF Dragons)! Today we alternated paragraphs as we read Frog and Toad Together: The Garden. This was one of our featured stories from Unit 3 of our Reading Street program. We enjoy looking back to past favorites as a way of building our reading fluency. Our audience was amazing (as always!). We learned during a past experience that we often read too quietly, so we have used the microphone and audio system that was installed last summer to enhance our voices. What a difference that made! We are so thankful the Dragons offer us the opportunity to practice in such a fun and exciting way.

We have learned to identify and name them based on their attributes, and we have learned about the benefits of eating healthy snacks. Ask your child what their favorite snack has been! I personally loved the soup! Mmmmm....
