Summer Reading Rocks!

I CANNOT wait to start my summer reading! I am planning on beginning with a mystery about several people who are on an island. One by one, they all start disappearing! I am going to read this book along with my little sister Nicole. We will talk about the book as we go!

Please share some titles that you plan to read this summer. What genres are you interested in?

Where are your favorite places to read in the summer? Do you plan to read paperbacks, hardcover or electronically...or a combo! Don't forget audio!

Let's talk summer reading...

Mrs. Babine has talked to all of us about the importance of being "school ready".

She wants us all to respect the Four P's...people, property, procedures and policies. 

Please share your thoughts on the Four P's in 3-P. How are we doing in each category? Have we improved in any of these areas? I look forward to your specific examples. It would be wonderful to share these posts with Mrs. Babine!
