First grade proudly served up new books at the 'Starbooks Cafe' to introduce students to several new book themes. Students got to choose which themes they were interested in learning about and reflect on whether or not they would want to read these types of books during their Daily 5 rotations. The goal was to motivate first graders to reach outside of their reading comfort zones in hopes of expanding their love for reading! At the end of this fun lesson, we enjoyed a 'Sip & Read,' where we discussed our new favorite book themes and what we learned about ourselves as readers, all while sipping on some warm Hot Chocolate! A 'Latte' fun was had in first grade today! :)
