The time I enjoy the most during my teaching day is the Read Aloud time after lunch. For approximately twenty minutes, the students just sit there and listen. They are not allowed to raise their hands or talk. It is a peaceful time. Since I'm the one reading the book, I can choose books that are a bit above my students' reading level and they just follow along in their own books. So far we've read Charlotte's Web by E. B. White and Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O'Brien. I enjoyed reading them both and so did the students. Starting tomorrow, we'll be reading The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis. This would be a nice habit to get into even when I'm not teaching.
