More Daily Five!

The kids continue to work hard to build reading stamina during read to self.  This week we will read up to 20 minutes!  We've also launched two more components of the Daily 5: Listen to Reading and Work on Writing.

During Listen to Reading the kids use Raz-Kids to listen to and read stories that are at their "just right" reading level.  They also get to check their comprehension by taking a quiz.  There is a link to this program under Great Websites right here on the Blog. My teacher name is MrsA2015.  Kids earn stars each time they listen, read and complete a quiz that they can trade in to build their own personalized robot or rocket!

During Work on Writing kids work on applying phonics and writing skills in personal journals. Right now the kids are choosing to write about a topic of choice.  Many children write about their weekends, what's new, or visit their Heart Maps for ideas!  Kids have the opportunity to share their journal writing with classmates as well!    Here are some photos from last week's work on writing!
