There Are Wockets in Grade 1 Pockets!

I like to have the kids create pages for our own version of mentor texts; they copy the structure of the model and add original words and illustrations. The latest edition of Dr. Seuss' There's a Wocket in My Pocket (Continued) by first graders has been added to our collection! You can preview below:

 

A-Maze-ing Achievers - First Half of T3

There is a maze built into one of the library walls, and students try and try to get the silver ball bearings into the middle. I think E. was the only one to get two ball bearings to the center during the second half of trimester 2 ... nobody has gotten all three yet. T3 challenge!

The master - E - coaching his protege.

And she did it! First double solve of T3.

Not a Box! (continued) with K

One of the most important roles I have as a library teacher is cultivating my students' imaginations. In K, we read Not a Box by Antoinette Portis; the main character creates all kinds of play scenarios with a simple cardboard box. Then the kids drew their ideas for our own continuation of the book. Here are some sample pages ... your family can borrow our book to see them all!
