It’s Monday! What are you reading?
Each week I share at least one reading photo of the week.
Loved reading aloud this title on Friday as I had a little walking skeleton dressed for the occasion!
Our #classroombookaday titles focussed on story telling and becoming writers. So glad I chose to share these titles so early in the year. Some highlights from our learning included:
- The middle is where all of the good stuff happens.
- Tell more!
- Write the stories around you.
- Illustrations also tell stories. Pictures have important details.
- Everyone loves to share stories!
After reading Ralph Tells a Story we were inspired to make a list of story ideas in our writer’s notebooks. I can’t wait to read about overflowing bathtubs, funny families and big and little adventures!
Classroom Highlights
In this recent post Dear Blog Readers, I explained how I will be sharing more of what is happening in our classroom each week. Some highlights:
On Wednesday and Thursday evening we hosted Goal Setting Conferences with parents and students. It was really lovely to meet families (including older and little siblings) and participate in meaningful conversations about learning, happiness and engagement. I loved this drawing left behind by one little brother. It reminded me to listen with big ears!
Kindergarten students have so much to share. I love to pop in to the K classrooms on my prep to see what is happening. One little author/illustrator read me her animal book.
