They Traveled to Space book

They Traveled to Space book

img_6820img_5777This week, we are finding out about some of the people (and animals!) who traveled to space.  Our theme ties into the Unique theme for this month.  The book talks about the first monkey and dog who traveled into space as well as the first person.  The book is in chronological order so you are able to see the progression of the “firsts” in space!  The front cover features one of our highschoolers as an astronaut while the back features one of our post secondary students star gazing.  Very neat!

The Brothers Grimm book

img_5315We are so in love with our book for this week!  It’s all about stories that the Grimm brothers compiled in the 1800s.  The front cover features 2 of our students as the Grimm brothers themselves.  We have students dressed up as different characters from several stories such as Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, and Cinderella.  The background for this book was made by our art teacher, Judy, and some of her students.  SO CUTE!

img_4243This isn’t just a random theme this week!  We are celebrating TV Talk Show Host Day which is October 23.  Our book takes a look at some different talk show hosts and gives a couple of facts about them.  We now know some neat little things about Conan O’Brien, Ellen, and Oprah, along with several other TV talk show hosts.  The cover of the book features a student of ours on the Tonight Show and also features another student helping out behind the scenes.

Fall Fun book

img_2962img_3063-1The weather is getting cooler and the leaves are changing colors…this can only mean that fall is finally here!  For us here in Florida, it is a wonderful shift in seasons.  The unbearable heat is finally tapering off!  There are lots of different things that go on during the gall.  Our school has our annual Owl Run and Camp Read A Lot, there’s a ton of football to be watched, and people start decorating for fall holidays.  Our book features one of our students wearing a super cute turkey hat on the front and another student dressed up in a costume on the back.

Opposites book

Opposites book

img_0956We talked all about opposites this week during our groups.  We found that there are opposites EVERYWHERE!  The book goes over just a few of these such as wet/dry, up/down, and dark/light.  Our wonderful students are featured in the book demonstrating opposites.  When reading the book, we had our verbal children fill in the opposite.  For instance, “Some toys are BIG and some toys are ….” and the students would say “LITTLE”.

Check out the book to see all of the different opposites we talked about!

Video Games book

Video Games book

img_9434In honor of National Video Game Day (September 12), our theme for the week was video games!  We love having our students in our books and this was the perfect opportunity.  Some of the video games that are featured in the book are Mario Brothers, Pac Man, and Zelda.  The repetitive line for this week is a question, so our students used the pre-programmed voice output device to ask the question and then the answer was read to them.  Such a cute book with such cute characters.  Look for yourselves and see!
