Favorite Read Alouds and A Back In the Day Picture

I thought I would kill two birds with one stone today.

I saw a linky party I found hilarious
                                            Time Travel Tuesday with I Heart Recess


Good Lord, Yep - I posted it! lol

Grade:  1st Grade
Year: 1988-1989  
School: Aliquippa Elementary School
Teacher: Mrs. Damon
Favorites: New Kids On The Block, Full House, Mr. Bellvadere, Big Hair, Bows and Belts! 

Memories:  I remember round robin reading and hating it so much. I remember her flirting with the male first grade teacher in the doorway. I swear they didn't do much teaching. I remember loving all of the crafts and I remember lunch time. We had to put our heads down for five minutes as we all lined up for recess. I used to pretend my fingers were ice skater legs and I was performing. Obviously not getting why they had our heads down. I also remember that the sporks we used had numbers on the back and we would always pretend that was how old we were! 
hahah

 Be sure to link up with I Heart Recess!!

 My second link up is for favorite Read Aloud! 
                               I was over at the The Teacher's Chair 


I have so many favorite read alouds but my all time favorite is by Cynthia Rylant. The Old Woman Who Named Things
It is a beautiful book! 
It is a beautiful story about an Old Woman who is afraid she has out-lived everyone in her life, and has begun naming objects that she knows she can outlive. It is wonderful for sequencing and comprehension. Not only that, it is a wonderful story about how a dog comes into her life, and how she changes through the story, making it a great synthesizing story! 

I read it for our Tales by Twilight at school because it is heart - warming! 

My second book is by Peter Reynolds
He is the author of The Dot which I love, but this is a great one about being yourself and accepting that your imperfections are beautiful. 

It is called ISH
If you haven't read it, you won't be disappointed! It is a fantastic read aloud. 

Here is a sneak peak at what I am working on next :

What colors and labels would you like to see? 

Thanks for stopping by!

Mrs. H.

    Isn't it funny the things that stand out? Makes you wonder what our students will say 20+ years from now!
