Graphic Organizers At Last!

Joy!  A pair of students took initiative today and started a graphic organizer during 'Love a Book' time (aka SSR).  I push encourage the use of organizers provided in our district curriculum, LBD, and some years the kiddos latch on right away but this year they wanted nothing to do with them.  Today, two boys actually asked permission...um, yeah, like I'd say no...and then happily set to work asking questions using David Shannon's 'It's Christmas David.'  Little David is much loved and the source of endless giggles and lots of whispers due to the first-grade-shocking bare-boy-bottom illustration in each of them.  I LOVE the series, and the heck with seasons, if those little guys want to read Christmas books in February, more power to 'em. Can't wait to see their completed organizer tomorrow!
