Reading is Sweet

Our February window was a work in progress and then it was so fitting for our Dr. Seuss unit in March that we stretched it out until spring break.

We started out in February with the hearts indicating what students "love to read." My fourth grade students actually chose some of their higher level, more challenging chapter book texts! I was proud to move beyond the basics!
My students made hershey kisses and candy mints for the candy shop window - how cute! They loved making these crafts. Each one turned out unique and tasty looking.

The kisses were wrapped in aluminum foil and then we added a ribbon with "HERSHEY" written on it. We painted the paper plates with red stripes one day and then the next day they wrapped the plate in clear plastic wrap and tied the ends with ribbons. Okay, the tying part was challenging, so the adults did most of that! Yum!
