This is a fun and exciting back-to-school book about the first day of school!  

I will be reading the story, "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Books" by Lucille Colandro. I will show this book while reading so that children can follow along.  This is a very fun story for children about getting ready for the first day of school.   I will be engaging them throughout the story by asking questions and I encourage interaction from all of my students if they would like to interact! I am a very active and animated teacher.  I believe children learn best through fun!  

Before reading the story, we will get to know each other by talking about their favorite book.  

After reading the story, I turn into the old lady and swallow the objects she swallowed! This is a fun way to help teach children sequencing! After I swallow all of the objects.  We will play a game that goes along with the book!  

I will not mute a student unless I have to or the background noise is distracting to the class.  

I have also attached a worksheet with two pages they can color after class.
