Readers Workshop

We start our Readers Workshop with a mini-lesson.  At the moment we are learning how to care for our books, our library system, how to read independently and how share with a partner.  During independent time the children get to choose where they sit around the classroom.  This includes taking the cushions, lying on the floor, being on the sofa or under a table.  The children choose a spot they will be comfortable to read and not get distracted. During this time I either teach children individually or have a small group of children for guided reading.  Below are photographs of our first time choosing our place to read during independent reading time.
