Oh, boy! Do your firsties have interrupt-itus? Do you have a favorite go-to book for dealing with this issue? I have one, and our school counselor has another, so we tag team and try to get these little kiddos to understand the importance of waiting for a turn to talk. My fav is Interrupting Chicken, by David Stein. The book our counselor uses is, My Mouth is a Volcano, by Julia Cook. Both are excellent books, and are referenced by both me and my students through the rest of the school year any time someone interrupts the speaker. =D
Which ever story you choose, you won't be disappointed! Your students will be engaged, and you have an excellent mentor text for this important social skill in your hands!
Have a great week!!
