Here are a few things we've been up to...in room 4...
1. We've started documenting our READING Homework. Students are responsible for choosing a book from their book box or our library to share with you each night. Thanks for taking the time to listen and read with your child. Time spent IN books is the single most predictor for successful readers.
2. I'm in the middle of gathering Universal Screening data for midyear. I am doing DIBELS testing and DRA2 on each child. The deadline is this Friday, so starting next week, we'll be back to our old reading group/partner routine.
3. If you have empty PAPER TOWEL tubes, we would love them to keep our math scrolls from getting squished. Please send them in.
4. Some topics we've talked about during our Reading Workshop lately...
- Getting our partners to SAY ALOT about books to increase understanding.
- Listening and Reading with "Wide Awake Minds"
- Ways to talk about books with partners (reactions on post-its, pop quiz, character thoughts, retell)
5. Happy Shoveling? (is there such a thing?)
