Our Fourth Grade Buddies

On Friday we met our fourth grade buddies from Mrs. Amstutz's class.  We were able to get to know them and read our favorite books.  Everyone did such a nice job listening and discussing the books they were reading.

Daily 5

This week the students have been introduced to the Read to Self rotation.  During this rotation they work to build reading stamina to help them practice their reading skills.  Each student has a reading tub filled with books that are considered “good fit” books.  Eventually, our stamina goal is to sustain reading for 20 minutes or more.

We have also introduced and practiced Read to Someone.  In this rotation the students read with a partner and the books they are reading.

Today was our first day of school.  We had lots of fun and learned about each other.  We read several books and did many activities related to the books.  We are very excited about first grade!
