Daily 5 Sign  Up

This week we started to sign up for our own dailies. This is giving us the choice to pick which daily we want to go to first. We are currently using read to self and listen to reading. Students are loving being able to make the choice of what they want to go to first!




Our Next Daily : Word Works

During word works we focus on spelling and vocabulary work with children.
This allows us time for the following:
*Experimenting with words for learning and practice a spelling pattern
*Memorizing high-frequency words
* Generalizing spelling patterns
*Adding to our knowledge and curiosity of unique and interesting words

Leo Lionni
We finished the week by reading Swimmy




                                                         








                                                            

Next we wrote a sentence about who Swimmy met using a capital letter and punctuation. Then we got to paint our fish to match our sentence.
Example: Swimmy met the green fish.
