Launching reading to ourselves

Today in room 6, students were introduced to their book bins. Each student has their own book bin that had two books in it for them to read. As a class, we talked about what it sounds like and looks like when you read by yourself. The students did an icreadible job practicing two strategies of reading books: 
1. Reading the pictures 
2. Reading the words 

We are excited to become super readers!  Reading every night at home will help students continue to use all of the new reading strategies they are learning. 

Students also worked on creating puzzle pieces for a giant, class map of Canada. This shows that all Canadians are connected in many different ways. 

Please note: our first library book exchange will be on Wednesday. More information will be coming home in the next few days.

Students created their own 'buckets' to help remind us to be bucket fillers
