Reading workshop
We have started to learn and practice our different stations. We learned expectations for independent reading, partner reading, checking out just right books and using Raz Kids on the computer. We will soon start to begin our reading groups.
Writing workshop
We read The Night of the Veggie Monster. Everyone loved this story! We used this mentor text to help the students write their own small moment story about a food that they loved or disliked. They turned out cute!!!
Math Station
We had our first test and pretest for unit 2. I will always have the students do a protest and a post test for every unit. I do this to help create groups for math stations. I can see what students know before we start a unit to have a better understanding of their strengths and areas of need. I group students by this to help them maximize their growth.
