Readers' Workshop

First Graders have been practicing what Readers' Workshop will look like in class this year. We started with exploring what books we have in the classroom followed by practicing skills such as how to take care of the books, how to take them out and put them back, and how to read quietly focusing on your own book. Today readers got their own book bins and book bags for the year. Book bins are plastic tubs that students will use to house the books they choose for themselves during the week and book bags are where they will keep the books I have picked out for them or books we are working on in reading groups (books at their good fit reading level). They will keep the bag in their book bin so that they have access to good fit books and free choice books each time they read in class! Below are some photos of them using these today.
