First Day of Reading and Literature!


During our first day of Reading and Literature: Birth through Grade 6, Dr. Smirnova showed us a great video where Patricia Polacco reads her book, Thank You, Mr. Falker and explains her hardships she faced when learning how to read.  The book showed that the little girl in the book struggled throughout many years until a special teacher came along and took the time to help her through her struggles and teacher her to read.  This story was a great way to show the struggles that many students face and how to help them.  This video reminded me of the journey I went through in learning how to read.  I have posted the video URL in this blog for your viewing. 
            Also on the first day, we also took a trip to the curriculum library, where Tiffany, the librarian, introduced us to helpful material and information to guide us around the library.  We were then introduced to Goodreads and Librarything, which will provide us with information about books that will be helpful to us as teachers.
