Choice



In our reading workshop time, we have 2, 3 or 4  sessions where students choose from Read to Self, Work on Writing, Read to Someone, Word Work, Listen to Reading, and Station Work.  The first two sessions must be either Read to Self or Work on Writing. 
So, since the beginning of school, they were all doing reading first (together).  When I first gave them a choice between Reading or Writing first, I found it interesting they all chose to write first.  Hmm...

Ask your child about the Tallies they've been keeping during read to self time.
