8:19 a.m.: Anne Love reads The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear to her first grade class. Love gathered the kids on a rug with circles on it for each child to sit on and went over "Rug Rules," which include eye contact with teacher, listening, sitting cross-legged, hands in lap, and raises one's hand for permission to speak. She also told them that the class would keep count of the books they read as a class - 100 books earns a popcorn party and 200 books earns a pizza party.
