A2 Everytime we order @Scholastic books we order some from our wishlist w/bonus points. Also use @Seesaw 2 record reading, write about reading, completing engaging SS choice reading activities w/a global connection...#1stchat
A2 Also 2 avoid #summerslide we shop at the end of the summer. All the books they chose to "build our library" goes back in the store. SS choose books to take home for the summer reading challenge. Makes a huge difference. #1stchat
A3 Every SS gets library time every week, @EarhartExplorer does a school wide Summer Reading Challenge with a reward. We also do a monthly reading contest every month of the school year. Plus @Scholastic book orders #1stchat
A4 @Seesaw Seriously. If you aren't using it check it out. Students get 2 record their reading, record reading their writing, draw pictures about what they read about, and so many endless possibilities. The more they share, the more confident they become. It's awesome #1stchat
A4 Also praising them for every step. @SpencerKagan teambuilding & classbuilding. We support each other as a class in our reading progress. When you really are a team, the growth and confidence is amazing #1stchat
A5 OMG so many, Click Clack Moo, No David!, Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse, If You Ever Want to Bring an Alligator to School, Don't! and so many more. I love read-alouds and so do SS
