Freebie Friday

Welcome to my first FREEBIE FRIDAY.  I found this idea on Pinterest last week, several blog’s were linking up and sharing.  I thought this was a great idea, that is the main reason I blog,  I enjoy exchanging ideas with other teachers for free.

This week I am sharing a poem I did with my students the last week of First Grade. 

It is from the book, You Read to Me, I'll Read to You.

I am trying to buy the additional copies of the book every change I get.  I think I have 6 copies now.

I introduced the poem to the children on Monday.  They LOVED it.  They colored the mice and added it to their poetry notebooks.  Later I read more poems from the book as well.  That is all I needed to do and they were off reading for the week.  There are several other books similar to this as well.  I showed the first graders where they could find the basket with the poem books.    

This was a favorite among the boys.

They enjoyed buddy reading with their friends all week.  They just loved the books. I don't think I had to remind anyone to read.  They were all buddy reading!  Amazing!
