Big Book Station

Happy New Year!  After Christmas, vacation, and snow days it's time to get back into swing of things!  

This fall I wrote a grant through donorschoose.org for a wooden easel stand and big books to use during reading workshop as a Big Book Station.  Our stand and books arrived for us to start using on Monday.  The kids and I are all excited!

Here are some pictures from Reading Workshop this week.  We love to READ!!
