Along with discussing and writing all about why reading is important to us, we had a "famous" guest reader. Scott read us the story, "The Wolf Who Cried Boy". Everyone enjoyed listening to Scott read. Thank you, Scott for taking time out of your busy day to read to us!
Here is a list of "Things We Read" that we came up with during journaling time. Good thinking 1st graders!
books, newspapers, signs, magazines, comic strips, maps, math directions, cards, labels, medicine, names, money, calendar, music, shirts, cookbook, recipes, menus, school words, phonebook, dictionary, announcements, letters, video games, posters and movie titles.
Hard to believe that over 1 billion people entered the 21st Century unable to read and write. Wow! Going to school and learning to read and write is a wonderful privilege that we Americans have!:)
