Reading and writing together

Today, we also had time to read and write together in our classroom.  We started talking about how we choose just right books.  We explored our classroom library and placed our first books inside our book boxes.  In the next few weeks, we will discuss what good readers do every day, so please visit our blog often for updates on our learning.
Tomorrow, Thursday, we will visit the library for the first time together.  We will go once a week, always on Thursdays.  Your child can take out two book and keep them home for the week.  We will return our books next Thursday.
In writing, we worked on our summer vacation pieces.  The students had so may amazing experiences to share about their summers.  In the next few weeks, we will explore the writing process, and we will, of course, share our learning with you here and in many other ways as well.
