Mrs. Smith's Kinder Kids are busy bees !


Mrs. Smith's Kinder Kids enjoyed reading “Huggapotamus” and talking about being a good friend.


The September reading challenge has begun for Mrs. Floyd’s Fabulous Firsties! Students are encouraged to read 4 fiction books this month and share what they read with others in a fun way. This week we all chose to make bookmarks about Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse. If you’d like to know what this story is about, just ask a firstie!


Let's talk about a good book!
Mrs. William's has been visiting classrooms from Kindergarten to Second grade to model and teach the importance of book talks.
Book talks allow us to tell others about great books we have read.
We love reading at Louise Durham so talking about what we are reading is so much fun!! 📚📚
