Last week and this week, I worked with the first grade reading group to explore features of a newspaper article including titles and captions. We read all about National Oatmeal Day. Students then created a newspaper article of their own to recognize a food of their choice, and they were encouraged to use the features we had discussed. One student chose candy, but the others chose strawberries, apples, and tomatoes!
I am excited to be working with a small group of first graders during their reading time this year! Last week students completed an interest inventory to help me get to know them better. This week, we read David Shannon's Alice the Fairy. Since the main character is a "temporary fairy," we made a chart and began listing things that are temporary and things that are permanent. We will continue working with this story next week.
