LITERACY
This week we:
- finished up our first full round of reading conferences! I have now read with every student in 3C and will be working on a schedule for weekly reading conferences. Students who need the most support will get more frequent one on one coaching with reading strategies. All students receive daily reading instruction (modelling the use of a variety of strategies) during our read alouds.
- finished reading the Skippyjon Jones books focusing on checking for understanding and backing up and rereading.
- wrote in our journals
- completed our second week of writing mini lessons ideas. This week we focused on writing topic sentences at the beginning of paragraphs and using supporting sentences that stay on topic.
- continued working on our lowercase handwriting letters in the kite strings family (i, t, u)
