Rocket Reader

OCTOBER 2023

10/27/2023

 
Welcome to another issue of the Rocket Reader!

This year, we're trying something new. We want to showcase what makes Queen Anne Elementary so special: our community! Therefore, we are using the Rocket Reader to feature work from some of our incredible students. Each month, we will be sharing all types of different content from students and faculty with hopes we can all learn more about each other. 

For more information about Queen Anne Elementary, please check the PTSA website on which we keep an up-to-date calendar and provide more detailed information about many facets of Queen Anne Elementary. We also encourage you to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. 

What's your happy reading spot?
A few QAE 5th graders have shared their answers to this cozy question.

​My happy home reading spot is in my parents bedroom, sitting with my cat. When it’s a winter day, I like to go under the covers and sometimes drink hot cocoa with marshmallows. I love it there when it’s misting, raining, pouring, snowing, or when there is a thunderstorm during a sunset. I love my reading spot because my cat always walks up to me and plops down beside me. I also love it because it’s nice and quiet, just me, my cat, and the book. I get carried away in the books rough pages, me running through a field of words, black ink, and flashing colors. I’m always losing track of time. It’s a good reading spot to me because it’s quiet, calming, comfy, and fun. Just me and my cat in a white room, in a big bed, with a beautiful view of my neighborhood.


​As I got in my living rooms comfy chair as I went to stretch on my stool. And got on my two pillows as the fireplace warmed them up. As I put my arm on my wooden arm rest attached to the chair. And I was so happy it was so quiet because my little brother was sleeping. And I opened my book and started reading. Then I moved my legs from the stool to on the very soft grey carpet. And I read an extra ten minutes.

​In my absolute favorite spot to read (My Bed) there’s blankets on top of blankets. Its also nice and cozy enough for my dogs to sit with me! I also have 8 legged roommates to remind me of my arachnophobia! But my favorite part is its feel of plants and trees waving around me and the sunlight coming through the window that makes me like its alive. It’s also pretty dark and quiet with my mom a room away which makes me feel safe. That’s mostly why I love my spot! In conclusion I love my reading spot because it makes me feel at home! ​

Reading at QAE!



​In Reading Club students spent time learning how to read! We learn phonics and practice our phonemic awareness. We build our reading fluency as well as our reading stamina by learning strategies and practicing reading just right books. There are a lot of books in the classroom that we can read, and sometimes students bring books from their classrooms to read. There are lots of cozy spots to read, but most of the time we sit at a table with our friends and read books together.
