Reading...FINALLY!!

We began reading workshop today by discussing book shopping expectations, and the students did a wonderful job sharing some of the rules about looking for and choosing books in the classroom library.  They were definitely anxious to get their hands on the books, even while I was giving a "tour" of the library. The students then got their book bins, started book shopping, and practiced reading independently at their seats. They did marvelous for their first day! I can't wait to try again tomorrow...
