Rainnie’s Reading Rappers

IMG_1109Matthew, Jamie, Keegan and Aidan all have a reading group with Mr. Rainnie. Mr. Rannie is a retired English teacher and football coach. The name of the group is Rainnie’s Reading Rappers. We are reading a book called Class Clown by Johanna Hurwitz. So far in the the book there is a kid named Lucas Cott and Lucas carved his initials in his desk with a pen. Later in the book he has pencil races with his friends and Lucas pretends to smoke a cigarette in class. What we  like about the reading group is that we have a football and whenever you have it then you get to talk. We IMG_1125 (2)get to toss the football around to each other if another person wants to say something. We have dollars that are called Buccaneer bucks because Mr. Rainne teaches a football team called the Buccaneers. You can earn bucks by have good behavior. When we get 70 bucks in all we get to go outside and play football.

  1. It was cool to read the blog entry Jamie and Matthew wrote about our reading group–we’re having fun and I look forward to coming into school to meet with these guys.

    • Than you! Mr. Rainnie I did´t know that you knew what the blog was. Sorry that I missed Tuesday’s group I had to go to the dentist. Also what are we doing for our last group.

      • Keegan,
        Sorry you missed Tuesday’s meeting–we missed you! We read all of Chapter 7, and I asked you guys to read up to page 80 (halfway through the last Chapter) for next Tuesday.
        I hope the dentist visit wasn’t painful. See you Tuesday.
        Mr. Rainnie

  2. Great job on the blog Jamie and Matthew! I love the name you guys came up with! Mr. Rainnie is not just a retired English teacher and a football coach he also knew Mrs.Freeman in high school! Anyway you guys are saying the football you hold when you are talking is kind like Casey! In Class Clown did Lucas get in trouble for carving his initials in his desk?
