Welcome back from Labor Day weekend! I can tell we all needed a nice, long weekend to relax and unwind. It sure felt good!
This is so exciting! We practiced our first read to self round today. Each child has his or her own book bag that has 3 books I've pre-selected. Eventually, students will be tested and taught to book shop for 'just right books.' It's more fun to read when you can pick out your own book! They did a great job. Just look at these readers.
We'll continue to read each day and build our stamina. We are developing an I chart together to help us remember what we are expected to do during this time. I hope to see them reach 20 minutes in the next couple of months! Then we start introducing more choices and that's why this time is called Daily 5. There will eventually be 5 literacy based choices. Some days I'll pick where they need to work and other days they get to pick.

We just started our first newsbook today! Very exciting! Each Monday (or Tuesday after a break) we will share what we did with our new elbow partners. Then elbow partners share out what their partner said and this helps us work on listening to each other. Today I picked Ally's share about Wild Water West!!!
Amare showed us how he reads the pictures today. We'll be having more in depth lessons about how to read a book soon. What a brave kiddo! Just like Eric Carle!
