More learning

Today in reading, students were given their very own classroom baggies to keep their reading books for independent reading. They were really excited about this. We also worked in new centers. The poetry center, the wiki stick center, and even some students were reading on their own through the use of pointers and books that are familiar to them. It has been a great day, and I look forward to our publishing celebration as we read our first stories we did next week!

At the end of the day we did a double bubble map on the Gingerbread Boy and The creepy carrot. We borrowed the Creepy Carrot from Mr. Andy. Students really enjoyed the story. They even made their own carrots in language development centers. I also put some fall materials in the dramatic play center and the students decorated and had a Halloween party!
