Read Aloud Books for June 29

The Fabulous Bouncing Chowder is the sequel to the book "Chowder" that we read last week. In this story, the bulldog named Chowder learns how to jump on a trampoline and ends up teaching other dogs to use the trampoline too.


Let's Do Nothing is a great book to jumpstart a discussion about imagination. In this story the two main characters realize that it is impossible to do absolutely nothing, but they tried really hard! I spoke to the children about how, during the summer, there may be times when they are bored, and this book gives some ideas for imagination games.


The afternoon class had a chance to watch a video of the California Raisins. It was a funny story filled with classic R & B music. The video is no longer available, but the 30 minute movie is available on youtube:

  1. the week nd blinding lights


    I been tryna call
    I been on my own for long enough
    Maybe you can show me how to love, maybe
    I'm going through withdrawals
    You don't even have to do too much
    You can turn me on with just a touch, baby
    I look around and Sin City's cold and empty (oh)
    No one's around to judge me (oh)
    I can't see clearly when you're gone
    I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
    No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
    I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night
    Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust
    Hey, hey, hey
    I'm running out of time
    'Cause I can see the sun light up the sky
    So I hit the road in overdrive, baby
    Oh, the city's cold and empty (oh)
    No one's around to judge me (oh)
    I can't see clearly when you're gone
    I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
    No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
    I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night
    Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust
    I'm just walking by to let you know (by to let you know)
    I can never say it on the phone (say it on the phone)
    Will never let you go this time (ooh)
    I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
    No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
    Hey, hey, hey
    Hey, hey, hey
    I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
    No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
