It's hard to believe that this crew has only been together for 17 days of school! In looking through the photos that I took over the week I am struck by the focus that the children are bringing to their work. Below you will get a look at our second session of Readers Workshop in which I modeled for the class how great readers begin on the cover and don't just look at every page in a book- they LOOK AND THINK...they ask themselves "what might this say"? After the children tried their hand at this, I partnered them up and and they had a chance to show and tell a friend something they learned from their book. We had a room full of teachers for sure!
In addition to giving their all at Reader's Workshop, the children did a super job working together to line up the letters of the alphabet with several different materials. We've been talking about all letters having a sound and two ways to write them- uppercase and lowercase.
We are so fortunate to have fifth grade friends model this kind of focus for us each week at Buddy Time. Here you can see our big buddies assisting in making a book about colors on the farm.
