Another fun RAPS session. Today, our session had a bit of a late start
because this week was the first time for students doing after school programs
to get food in the cafeteria after school.
Our rappers were able to eat together by the front door and our twins
were very excited to look at the box of RAPS books that they offered to carry
it to our classroom. On the way to the
classroom, they kept commenting about the book titles that they wanted to
read.
Most of this session was spent choosing the
books they wanted to read during RAPS.
The most popular books were the
Diary
of a Minecraft Zombie books and also
Diary
of a Wimpy Kid.
Comic books and
graphic novels were also a hit, and some students want me to bring more next
session. Multiple students are reading
Skeleton
Creek and
Calvin and Hobbes. We had one student finish a short book
today, and he was very happy to start the Minecraft book next week.
Continuing on from last week, a few
students wanted to finish their Show Ways, and think it’s cool that they will
hang up in the Wyatt Center on the RAPS Wall at Vanderbilt University.
One absolutely awesome moment happened today when a student realised what RAPS stood for: Read and Play Saturdays (or in Schools). So he decided to be a rapper because he reads and plays in schools. Check out his spontaneous rap about RAPS.
Next week we will continue reading and
maybe start a RAPS reading mural.
