During Reading Workshop, we have been asking ourselves, "What should independent reading look like and sound like in our classroom?" The kids came up with lots of great ideas: be focused on your book, sit in a "smart spot," select a book that interests you, spend the majority of your time reading (not going to the water fountain), don't "fake" read, and be comfortable. The kids have done an incredible job with their reading this past week - I am extremely proud. Here are a few pictures of the kids enjoying our reading time...
Caitlyn is reading a great book, The SOS Files. During our conference this week, Caitlyn told me she enjoys reading mystery books.
Porter has been reading some graphic novels in the class. He's also spent some time reading some non-fiction books - especially the books about history and war.
Mia has found a quiet place to read in the back of the classroom. Mia is reading The Sisters Grimm, and told me she loves to read fairy tales and adventures (which her book perfectly combines).

I really enjoy quiet reading

Rebekah,
Me, too! I can get distracted by noise. If I'm going to get "absorbed" in my book, I like to have total silence around me. But not all readers are like that.
I like to see what your classmates enjoy reading. I am reading Feathers by Jacqueline Woodson. It is about a 6th grade girl in 1971. I was in kindergarten in 1971, so I have memories of the time period, but my school was different from this character's. So far I like the book and hope to finish it soon.
