Welcome to reading with Ms. Quist! I have taught 6th grade for three years at another OPS school, and I am looking forward to my first year here at Buffett!
This year in reading, we are launching a new management program called The Daily 5. Students have worked hard to build and maintain a reading stamina of 20 minutes in their Read to Self book. Read to Self books are books that students have choosen and are at their independent reading level. Students are enjoying the opportunity to read books that interest them and learning how to locate books in the libraray that are at their reading level.
We are launching the vocabulary component of The Daily 5. Students are using their Read to Self books to locate and learn new vocabulary words. They work in cooperative groups to help each other complete their vocabulary organizer. We are confident that through discussion students will increase their vocabulary.
