Who loves a good read aloud?? WE DO!!

Our second grade day is set up perfectly!  We have a 2 1/2 hour ELA block in the morning.  At 11:40 we go to lunch, followed by recess, and then resource.  When we come back from music, art, or PE we spread out on the carpet in the gathering area and relax for some read aloud time.  Mrs. Morris shares some of her favorite chapter books with us.  
Right now we are reading Beverly Cleary's Ramona Quimby Age 8.  The main character is eight years old and starting third grade.  Just about our age as we finish our second grade year.  
Before this chapter book we read Cynthia Rylant's The Van Gogh Cafe.
Some other favorites from this school year include Dan Gutman's Jackie and Me, Louis Sachar's Sideways Stories fromWayside School, and Katherine Applegate's The One and Only Ivan.
