*We learned that strong readers read every day at home and at school.
*We learned that strong readers take care of their books and protect their reading time. (We called this being reading police.)
*We were reminded of the all the expectations of Readers Workshop and we started to evaluate how we are doing in each of the five areas of Readers Workshop.
*We started to learn to look at the beginning sound which we call "getting our mouth ready."
*We all have "just right books" in our book basket and we know we have to read at least two of those just right books right when we start our reading to self time.
*We practiced sequencing different events in a story (first, middle, last).
*We learned the super words "me" and "my" and we continue to practice reading our former super words.
*We read many books about farm animals including Mrs. Wishy Washy and Hattie and the Fox.
* We added a new song to our poetry binders about farm animals. We practice reading this poem using our touch and read strategy.
*We played super word swat where we swatted the super words with a fly swatter.
*Continue to keep reading with your child every day for at least 15 minutes. The children are getting so excited to learn about reading so they would love to show what they can do at home. Some of your child's homemade books have started to come home and the rest will come home this coming week. Enjoy reading those books with your child.
