Books are an important part of our daily life in the classroom, and I love capturing spontaneous moments of children enjoying reading. Of course, we read books throughout the day--not just during Reading Workshop and read-aloud time. Students are invited and encouraged to read often during transitions, whenever we have a bit of downtime, free choice time, settle-in time at the beginning of the day, quiet time after recess, and so on. We LOVE books!
Nonfiction is always popular in 1st grade. This volcano book is a hot item! No pun intended... :)
These boys discovered a book about cars with really great diagrams. I think I surprised them with this photo!
Reading=relaxing! :-)
So cute.
