Reading

We have begun the year by reading several wonderful picture books to introduce our Reader's Workshop model.  This week, we read Henry and the Buchaneer Bunnies by Carolyn Crimi, The Girl Who Hated Books by Manjusha Pawagi, Balloons Over Broadway by Melissa Sweet and The Plot Chickens by Mary Jane and Herm Auch.  We have been learning about different genres of books and why reading is important.  We have learned about the author's purpose for writing a book and about how to reflect as we read.
