Reading Circle

Hello Reading Circle family! In accordance with the “Shelter in Place” order for our city, we have decided to digitize Reading Circle.

This week’s theme: learning when to stand up for yourself and not lose your temper
Book:
“Hotel Bruce” by Ryan Higgins
Steps to delivering an impactful Reading Circle:
1- Opening Activity (follow the instructions in the PDF)
2-Sight Words - When Bruce gets home from a southern migration trip with his goslings, he is tired. He is grumpy. And he is definitely not in the mood to share his home with the trio of mice who have turned his den into a hotel.
There's a possum pillow fight wreaking havoc in one room, a fox luring guests into a stew in the kitchen, and a snuggly crew of critters hogging the bed. Bruce growls and grumbles and tries to throw them all out, but the entrepreneurial mice just can't take a hint. Bruce is in a little over his head, especially once the goslings join the staff. Will this grumpy bear ever get his quiet, peaceful den back to himself?
3- Watch the video of the reading
4- Discuss transition/focus questions
5- Read the activity sheet and gather supplies.
6- Activity:
When you’re stressed or frustrated it is important to take a deep breath. Sometimes we get so frustrated that we feel like we need to take that out on something. Rather than potentially causing damage to a physical object, we’re going to use watercolor paint and straws to take our frustrations out!

Have fun!

We would love to see photos of you and your loved ones conducting your own Reading Circle at home!
