Ruby Holler

This month at Westside we are celebrating reading month, and tomorrow's task is to decorate our door to look like a favorite book. We chose our very first read aloud from last fall...RUBY HOLLER!!! When I went back Friday night to finish I ran out of dark green leaves (so it isn't quite finished), but I wanted to give you a chance to see it before inevitably someone accidentally rips one part or another. I'll post another picture once we finish adding the rest of our details!!!

I have always wanted to turn my door into a tree, and now that I've done it once I have a feeling it will be repeated. LOVE IT!!! Oh, and the yellow circle is actually a Newberry Medal, but the exposure on my phone makes it hard to see the design and title written around the perimeter.

REQUEST FOR READERS --- I'm sure many of you have a long list of favorite books, and probably a few that you still fondly remember from your childhood. We have two requests:

1. Email Mrs. Clarey a list of your favorite books from when you were growing up so that she can compile a list to share (click on the email link on the top of the right-hand column of the blog).
2. Visit our classroom to read one of your favorite books to the class as a read aloud! Times to visit can be scheduled at 8:30, 9:40, 11:10, or 2:10. Contact Mrs. Clarey for a time to be a guest reader!!!
