What's Going On in Literacy?

Last week in Reader's Workshop the children worked in pairs to learn about what life was like long ago from a collection of books that each focused on a different aspect of life: transportation, communication, home, school, and toys!  I encouraged the pairs to apply the strategy, "when you're done you've just begun" which prompts beginning readers to search pictures AND words for more meaning. Later in the session we came back together as a whole group to share our discoveries Have a look...
New for us during our Literacy block is a Choice Chart that explains what literacy related activities are available once "have-to's" are finished.  Below you can have a look at friends using the storytelling materials and reading from poetry journals- both choices from the chart.
