Happy October!!!

     It's officially my favorite month!  I love October...the weather, pumpkins, the changing leaves, Halloween decorations, and the fact that my first graders always seem to get into the groove of things by October.  I always tell myself that they will be first graders in October.  Until then, they are still Kindergarteners. 
This week we have been working hard on partner reading and reading to self.....2 components of the Daily 5.  The Daily 5 is the management system I use during guided reading.  There are 5 parts to the Daily 5....read to self, partner reading, word work, listening, and writing.  Students rotate through these 5 "stations" while I meet with each reading group.  

Here we are practicing sitting "EEKK" (elbow to elbow, knee to knee) during partner reading and increasing our reading stamina at read to self. 
 









 
Please remember that tomorrow is an Early Dismissal day for students.
