Reading books aloud gives all students the opportunity to enjoy books and takes away the challenge of having to read it independently. \r\n\r\nReading is the main focus in my classroom as a Reading and Writing Specialist. Students come to our classroom to strengthen their reading skills. I get to share my love of reading and learning with them. One of the favorites from our new book collection is called \"Q & U Call It Quits\".

They were so excited to have a new place to work and were jumping from dot to dot on the rug. \r\n\r\nWe are wrapping up our school year together and will be doing some fun read alouds and other activities as a group.

I'm still working on it's permanent home in the music classroom, but it will be so much easier to find a place for it that won't impact the limited space in the classroom and the other things we need access to - instruments, props, supplies, etc.\r\n\r\nThe kids loved seeing the cool new system and appreciate how it has changed our access sound in the music room.
