After the success of our campout reading day I decided to try beach day reading! So I asked the kids to bring a towel, sunglasses, and a hat to school.
Unfortunately it was raining outside, so I set out a blue piece of felt for our lake inside the classroom. I had kids take turns hanging out around the "lake". Some even took a little dip:)
Next, I set up a little concession stand. I put down some plastic bags and a wet a few rags for kids to wipe their hands. Then, I began calling up students, who were reading quietly, to come to the concession and have a popsicle. There was a half for each, encouraging sharing and reviewing fractions.
My students were all comfy so I decided to make it even more authentic. I found a free sound mp3 of waves crashing onto the beach.

Last, we cleaned up - easy-peasy lemon squeezy! So fun and a refreshing twist on silent reading.
