Friendship

Last week we started writing to our 9th grade pen pals at Calabasas High School.  This week we received our first pen pal letter back.  In first grade we talk a lot about what makes a good friend. For me a friend is someone you can have fun with, someone who listens to you and someone who helps you.  I feel super lucky that I get to work with my good friend Mrs. McEvoy every week. 

 

 What do you think makes a good friend? 

What do you like to do with your friends?

Read to Self

For the past few days we have been working hard on reading to ourselves from our book boxes.  In "read to self" we have certain behaviors that allow us to become better readers and increase our stamina.  Today we made it to 6 minutes of stamina.

Below are some pictures of today's "read to self" and sentences explaining our "read to self" rules.

 "Logan is reading quietly," grinned David.

 "Matthew and Ariana are reading in their heads," noted Nolan.

"Olivia, Harper, Valeria are reading the whole time," exclaimed Ryan.

"Baxter is reading because it's fun," related Jaslene.

"We are reading to become better readers," roared Leslie.
