My kids have been going absolutely bonkers for Junie B. Jones books! And well that makes me one happy teacher when my kids are excited about reading! They seriously can't get enough and as soon as we finish one they are ready for a new one! Next week we will begin reading Junie B., First Grader Dumb Bunny and will complete a book study booklet as we read. We recently just finished reading Junie B. Jones and that Meanie Jim's Birthday and also completed a book study booklet with it. Here is a little peek of what our booklets look like.

I just added a new little companion pack that we will be working with next week to my TpT store. You can check out this little companion pack for the book Junie B., First Grader Dumb Bunny by clicking o the pic below!

The site was so easy to navigate and they have a HUGE variety of anything and everything you are looking for, with a ton of different brands! The customer service was so nice and very helpful. The best part of my shopping experience was the shipping!!

Read Across America Fun

We spent last week reading tons of Dr. you know who books and completing some fun activities and crafts for Read Across America week.

We read Green Eggs and Ham and then tried green eggs and ham and made a class graph

On Wednesday, we read Wacky Wednesday,wore wacky mixed up clothes, and we made list of things the kids thought would be wacky if they happened. I got the idea for the list from Mrs. Plant's Press. 

We read Yertle the Turtle and made these cute turtles.

On Friday, we read The Cat in the Hat and The Cat in the Hat Comes Back and compared the two with a venn diagram. I forgot to take a pic of this. We also made these cute cats.

I had plans on making a cat in the hat snack on Friday but we dismissed early due to weather so we didn't have time. I guess we will be making it one day this week. Here is a pic of the one we made last year. 

That's all I got for tonight! :)

Crazy Sock Day!

This week we are celebrating Read Across America with a week full of fun! We were out yesterday for sickness so we didn't get to have our pajama day. Today we read the book Fox in Socks and completed some fun activities to go along with this book. Here are some highlights from our crazy sock day!

We wore crazy socks...

We made a crazy sock graph...

We talked about what synonyms are and wrote pairs of synonyms.. everyone didn't get finished so I will have to add the rest tomorrow. I got this cute idea from Mrs. Terhune's blog.

We made afox wearing some silly socks! :)

Let's Celebrate Reading!

Hey, hey! Well blog friends, schools were closed today (and also will be on Monday) in my district due to illness. So I've enjoyed a nice day at home with Dexter dog. I've been working on a few things today for school and planning for next week. I guess even when your off the wheels never stop turning! ha  Anyways, next week we will be celebrating Read Across America week in our first grade classroom. We will be reading several Dr. you know who books and completing crafts and activities that go along with those books. I am also having a fun dress up day each day. I have done this the past few years and the kids always enjoy it. If you are looking for some fun craftivities to complete during Read Across America week or in the month of March, I just uploaded a pattern pack called Let's Celebrate Reading! {A Craftivity Pack for March}. This pack includes 9 character patterns for favorite book characters from books that are read during Read Across America week. If you previously purchased my cat who shall remain nameless and friends unit or pattern pack then you do not need to purchase this pack. But do go back and re-download the file because it has been updated! :)
You can check out some of my Dr. you know who fun and crafts from last year HERE and HERE. :)

What are you doing with your class to celebrate Read Across America week?

I'd love to give a copy of this pack to one of my followers! Leave me a comment with your favorite Dr. you know who book and I will pick a random winner sometime on Saturday. Don't forget to leave your email! :)

Congrats to Jenn! Check your email. :)
