Today, first grade experienced “America Runs on Reading.” They were able to pretend they worked at a restaurant and had quite a few customer needs that had to be met! They practiced differentiating between fiction and nonfiction, analyzing characters, using adjectives to describe, practicing listening and reading comprehension, and writing complete sentences. They even had surprise readers who share a love of learning! This was an excellent opportunity for them to gain a new learning experience and have a few tasty treats!
