[denise marshall]

I am also k-5 and would love to collaborate. It was my plan to start after the Christmas break, but I haven’t done it yet.

I love this idea! I teach K-5, and would love to collaborate for gr 3-5.  Maybe this idea could be extended to picture books being read by staff members other than myself or the students' regular classroom teacher.

Barbara, do you already have chapter books that you are using for grades 3-5?

I started a Google slides and shared with staff so they can pick a Friday, record a video, and embed in the slides.
I created a slide for each week left in the year and shared it with EVERYONE on staff. I am hoping to get everyone in the building and District Admin involved in the project.

I am happy to collaborate with grades 3-5!

Hello All!

My 8th grade ELA teacher does First Chapter Friday most weeks and sometimes I go in to read. I also created a Flipgridtopic  with the idea that I could record a first chapter and she could use it if I am not able to be there in person that day. Hoping to invite other teachers and students to record so we will have a library of options.

And I saw the Follett resource this weekend on Twitter--it looks pretty great!

Subject: [CASL-L] First Chapter Fridays--High School?

Hello all--

Is anyone else doing First Chapter Fridays in a high school? Looking for books with really good, enticing, fairly clean beginnings to read out loud to 9th graders! Would anyone want to collaborate and add suggestions to a Google Doc? I've been doing it since Sept with our freshmen and they LOVE it, so I've got a bunch that already worked, but I'd be happy to share!
