Super Readers & Super Writers in First Grade!
Our Cimarron first graders have been using their reading
and writing superpowers
as they launch Reading and Writing workshop in 1st grade.

A few other “Super Readers” were spotted around school also. J
First grade launched Reading and Writing Workshop using two favorite
read alouds, Rocket Learns to Read
and Rocket
Writes a Story by Tad Hills, and
each student received a special delivery from Rocket – their own reading and
writing buddy!
Students spend time each day reading self-selected “just right” books from their classroom library, writing books and conferring with their teacher about reading and writing. Their buddies read and write along with them each day. Reading and Writing workshop include both independent reading/writing and partner reading and writing. Students are also teaching their reading buddies how to read the 1st grade sight words.
To celebrate their accomplishments, a Reading and Writing Parade complete with floats showcasing their favorite “just right” book read this school year and their favorite writing piece was held during the school day. Students paraded around school and ended their celebration with a grade level gathering to share their books and writing with new classmates and friends.
First graders
are definitely excited about Reading and Writing! So if you happen to be at school don’t be
surprised if you see loads of books, pens, paper and of course reading buddies
in the First Grade hallway! Readers and
Writers, off you go!
