We have had a great start to our school year.\u00a0 As we get into the swing of things our workshops are really starting to take off!\u00a0 I think that Writer’s Workshop is now one of the kids favorite parts of the day.\u00a0 Over the past few weeks we have been focusing on details in our stories, both illustrations and text.\u00a0 It has been great to see the kids adding words to their stories.\u00a0 They get so excited!\u00a0<\/p>\n
In Reader’s Workshop we have been focusing on the different ways we can read books.\u00a0 The three ways we have talked about so far are: 1. Looking at the pictures to help us tell the story,\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 2. Retelling a story we know,\u00a0\u00a0 3. Reading the words.\u00a0 The past week or so we have been expanding on the 3rd way to read.\u00a0 We have talked about how we can sound out short words or stretch out the longer ones to read.\u00a0 It is so cool to see the kids get excited when they figure out words.\u00a0 At the end of both workshops we share what some students have done in their independent time.\u00a0 The kids get excited, run to me to share and then instantly ask if they can share in front of the entire class.\u00a0 SO GREAT!\u00a0 I can already see growth in so many kids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
