Reader's Workshop

During reading, we began talking about "information" book (non-fiction) and story books (fiction.) Students sat with a partner and explored information books and realized they can learn just from looking at the pictures. Then, we also looked at many symbols that students recognize from stores or shows. Next, students explored some games to practice with letter identification. Last, students worked with different shaped sticks to create mat man. These sticks will be used to create letters and assist with handwriting.

Students will bring home a book today called "The Birthday Party" that they want to read to you!
