First Celebration

A friend of mine hosts a celebration on her site on Saturdays...I'm asking the kids to join in too.

Here's their celebrations from the week...

I want to celebrate writing because writing makes reading and I love reading. - Kenley
I want to celebrate everything because I am having the best day ever. - Sophia
I want to celebrate my baby sister. - Andrew
I want to celebrate reading because I started a chapter book yesterday and now I am on page 90! - Libby.

We know what to do...

When you get a new student, you never know how the class will react.  Well, reading workshop began and I wanted to give our new classmate time to find books before listening to him read.  What happened amazed me...the class let him be.  They didn't show him books, they didn't bombard him, they didn't interrupt him.  They just let him join us in one of my favorite times of the day...reading!

Our reading...

I finally have the books up.  I might be missing one or two, but will check over our iPads and finish them up.  It took a while to find the videos...that's what happens when you have more than one profile on Google...but I hope you enjoy them!
