The Cardinals had a literacy packed day. This morning, our second grade buddies came over to spend some time and read books with us. Friends gathered together on the rug before going off with their partners to read stories. The second graders have been practicing reading and brought the books over they have been practicing with.
Some friends stayed in the classroom, whereas other friends went to the extended day space. During and after reading, the second graders asked their Cardinal partners questions about what happened in the book. After the second graders read their books, the Cardinals picked out a book to read or look through of their choice. Since we had some time left before the Cardinals went to library and second grade to lunch, we had choice time together. It was fun to watch and listen to friends start to connect and get comfortable with one another.
We are excited to watch this partnership blossom as the year goes on!
Once our partners left, it was time to go to the library. Each friend got a library book from the classroom, got in line, and walked over to the library, where they returned their books and sat down for a read aloud. Today, Ashanti read us Winter City and Birdies Big Girl Shoes. Following reading, the Cardinals picked out new books to check out and bring back to our classroom.
Ask your Cardinal who their partner was and/or what book they read.
