"just right" reading

Guided Reading: Today we began guided reading. This basically involves pulling small groups (currently no more than two per group) based on their reading level. We will work on strategies for reading and then choose a book that is "just right" for them to take home and practice with. These books are being sent home in labeled ziploc bags. Please take a chance to let your child read these with you, then bring them back to school. At least once a week a new book will be sent home to continue to practice with.

Activity:

Social Studies: Today we read the Let's Find Out about buildings on a farm: Silo, Stable, Barn, Coop, Pen, etc. After reading and examining the pictures, table teams were asked to work together to create one of these for our window mural.

P.E.: In P.E. we played Totally It Tag and are continuing to encourage students to play honestly, freezing when tagged and if they accidentally go out of bounds. This is beginning to be a problem with some students in both classes.
