*We read The Napping House by Audrey Wood. We practiced retelling this fun story by making our own book about the Napping House. We also practiced telling what happened in the beginning, middle and end of the story. This also a great activity to practice at home.
*We read the book Brown Bear, Brown Bear What do you see?. With this book, we practiced reading our color words and we made our own books so that we practice "touching and reading" the story. Our books are in our book baskets at school.
*We read several books about firefighters to help us get ready for our visit from the Waukesha firefighters on Wednesday. We learned about fire safety and we even went inside the fire engine! Wow!!! The children loved it!
*We learned about different ways that partners read together and we practice every day reading with our partner.
* We learned that Mrs. Marshman has "conferences" with us when we are reading to our self and with our partner. We understand how important that special time is.
*We listed why reading is important and what are our the things we want to learn as readers this year. This helped us so that Mrs. Marshman can help us set up our reading goals that will be shared at conferences.
*We learned about just right books and we are beginning to pick out books that are just right for us.
*We shared our best reading memories when we read at home with our families.
*We learned the super words "See" and "the".
