What happened today?
We had so much fun reading David Goes to School.

He helped us learn what NOT to do:

and what we should do:







We also worked on building our stamina today! Part of Daily 5 is building Stamina to Read to Self every day! We talked about how we can read a book:

and what the first graders' jobs are and what Mrs. Carney's job is during Read to Self.

Then we got to practice!
Henry chose to read with Moose!

Wyatt got focused at his desk.

Shade started working on his stamina on the floor!

Leah got to practice with Pig by showing us how to lay on the chairs...upside down!

Remember, you can always fill out the picture permission slip if you'd like to see your first grader featured on the blog. :)

We also learned how to count the "Math Way" today. Practice counting like this at home (I know I'll be practicing until I get used to it!)
