Reading response

Lauren has homework twice a week.  She has to read one of two books she brings home on Mondays and Wednesdays, then complete a Reading Response activity in her notebook.  Examples of a reading response can be:

1. What was your favorite part and why?
2. What was the problem and how was it fixed?
3. Can you relate the story to something in your own life?

Just six short months ago when she was at reading level C, her reading response looked like this:

Lauren's reading response entry September 2012.

And an entry from March 2013.

Experiencing her growth and development in Kindergarten has been freakishly amazing.  There is just about two more months left until she will be ready for 1st grade.  Surreal.  I have to remind myself yet again to live in the moment and cherish every day.
