Reading Workshop 

During Reading Workshop boys and girls have been learning how to look at books quietly, be book lovers by caring for books, and how to respect other readers.  This week we have been practicing how to Lean and Tell and Turn and Talk with our classmates that sit near us.  The classmates sitting next to each other are called "Elbow Partners." These are important skills for boys and girls to learn so that we can communicate with each other while sitting on the carpet during whole class instruction. 

We Lean and Tell to answer a quick question like:  What's your favorite book?  We Turn and Talk to discuss something like: Why is that your favorite book?
