This evening was incredibly busy with Lily’s first Girl Scouts meeting and some grocery shopping. We decided to just read a book for Book It! and skip the Building Bridges bingo sheet and book report.
“I Love Christmas!” by Hans Wilhelm
When Scholastic had their $1 book through Lily’s preschool last year, I bought 2 of these. One for her, one for Navy. Tonight, we did a buddy reading where she followed along in her book, while I read from the other.
I like that the entire book was 85 words. A quick read for a night short on time. Simple, five or six word sentences.
We are going to try this method of reading, with this same book again. Several of the words are word wall vocabulary words.

We met Dad for coffee today. Navy wanted to be with Papa the whole time.

Lily lost another tooth, so she got the Tooth Bag again. It comes with a book and journal that need to returned, as well as a necklace she gets to keep. Tonight, we read the book from the Tooth Bag.

Lily’s Book Report:
I liked the book.
What was the most important event? He lost his tooth by eating. Then he swallowed it. At the end, he got his treats.

To fill another square on her Building Bridges with Books bingo sheet and fill another slice of pizza on her Book It! paper, we read an Eric Carle book.
“The Very Hungry Caterpillar” by Eric Carle
This is one of Lily’s favorite books. She has it pretty much memorized and can “read” is really well.
The is a lighting vocabulary word, so Lily was sure to point that the book starts with THE!
