Literacy Bingo and Storybird

Today I teamed up with my parents who are regular volunteers. We began with another few chapters from ​Maniac Magee. Though they were restless, they are enjoying the story and can relate to it. We then alternated through a few activities: working on some art, working on Storybird, coding, and their reading bingo cards. Only two girls had kept track of their cards so they got an extra prize. The others started again and we made our way through. They wanted to mark things off quickly with little effort, but I made them work hard to get each stamp and a prize. Almost all had done some form of reading this week.

Reading The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires, a favorite story about a girl who won't give up

We need to work on an organizing system for the books and it's far from an ideal situation, but I'm happy to have any of them reading anything at all. It's summer and they're busy with lots of activities, so any reading is a bonus. 

I won't be back for a few months since it's soon my summer, but I'll spend some time thinking through what our plan is for this next year and how to best support them. As always, the privilege is mine and these are wonderful girls.
