What we're working on in the classroom...
The Daily 5!
Read to Self: The best way to become a better reader is by practicing each day, with books you choose and are a "Good Fit".
Working on Writing: Just like reading the best way to become a better writer is by practicing each day.
Read to Someone: Partner reading allows for more time to practice strategies, helping to work on fluency, check for understanding, hear your own voice and time to share in this learning community.
Word Works: Expanded vocabulary and correct spelling allows for more fluent reading and writing thus speeding up the ability to comprehend what is read and get thinking down on paper.
Listen to Reading: Hearing good examples of literature and fluent reading expands your vocabulary, builds stamina and helps you become a better reader.
