Mrs. Kolinek and Bella

Here's a picture Mrs. Kolinek sent of herself reading with her dog, Bella. It may be hot outside, but Mrs. K says she's bundled up because her husband has all of the fans on!

Can you tell what Mrs. Kolinek is reading? She's catching up on Massage Today. Mrs. Kolinek was a massage therapist in college! (I hope the teachers don't find out about that, Mrs. K, or you might have the whole staff lined up outside your office!)

Mrs. Vinklarek and Lyla

It looks like Lyla is enjoying having her mommy home this summer!

 

Here are Mrs. Vinklarek and her daughter reading Dinosaur Babies.

 

How sweet!

Wow! Check out this library!

Ms. Sargent emailed me this picture, with the following note:

"I'm reading a Seattle guidebook in the reading room on the top floor of the Seattle Public Library in (surprise!) Seattle, Washington."



I think Ms. Sargent gets the prize for reading at the location farthest from Smithville (so far...)!

Hope you're enjoying your time there, Ms. Sargent!

Amanda and Vivian are reading barefoot!

Look at these two, taking a break from the summer heat to cool off with a good book!

I'm not sure what they're reading, but it must be good!  Thanks for sending in the picture, Amanda and Vivian!

Mrs. SV's (three!) kiddos are reading this summer!

Here are Mrs. S. Vinklarek's kids reading about trucks together!  What a great big sister and brother they are to read to their new baby brother!

Even baby Jacob is enjoying the book - see him smiling????

Remember this book?

Looks like Mrs. Kennon took a break from playing outside to read a classic...Dick and Jane.

Thanks for the picture, Mrs. Kennon!

Mrs. Pope and sweet Olivia

Mrs. Pope and her daughter, Olivia, are keeping up with current events this summer!  Here they are reading the newspaper at Grandma's house!

Olivia looks very interested in the story!  Thanks for the picture, ladies!

Reading at the Silver Stars Basketball Game!

Here are Ms. Murray and Rachel and Caroline Frerich reading at the Silver Stars basketball game.  What are they reading?  The program, of course!  Way to put those reading skills to work, ladies!

Don't worry-they didn't spend the whole game with their noses in books!  They watched the game, too!

Almost 6 months old and already a reader!

We know Coach Kristynik is having a great summer spending time with her baby, Tyson!  Here they are reading Bambi together!  Awwww....

Reading in the Trees!

Samantha Gurley, age 8, reading in one of her favorite spots!

Thanks for sending in your picture, Samantha!

Reading on the Go

In my family, half the fun of a car ride is getting there, because a car ride is a great opportunity to read!

Here's a picture of my daughters reading in the car on our way home from the library. When we visit the library, both girls get to check out a big stack of books. Then each of them gets to pick out one book to read on their way home. As you can probably tell from the picture, it's always a very quiet ride home!

Since I'm usually the one driving, I don't get to read in the car very often, but when my husband is driving, I have a book at the ready! Here's a picture of me reading Twelve Kinds of Ice by Ellen Bryan Obed. Can you see the scenery whizzing by out the window? (I wonder how fast my husband was driving while I had my nose in a book!)

Do you read in the car? Send me a picture and let me know where YOU are reading this summer?

Look where Ms. Murray's reading!

Ms. Murray is kicking off her summer with a great book-Wonder by RJ Palacio.  Here she is reading on the beach in Corpus Christi in front of the USS Lexington after touring the ship.

Thanks for sharing your picture, Ms. Murray!  

Where are you reading this summer?
