| For the first quarter,
students will have controlled choices. I will set up a Daily 5
rotation schedule. During the second quarter students will
transition into making their own choices. |
Read to Self: When students choose
Read to Self, students read good-fit books independently from
their book boxes. Students take their book box and find a book
nook around the room. |
|
Read to Someone Else:
When students choose Read to Someone,
partners take their book boxes and read just-right books
together. Students make decisions together about where they want
to read, what they want to read, and how they want to read.
Students are carefully taught to "check for understanding" when
partner reading. This helps us improve our comprehension.
|
Work on Word Study: When students choose to Work on Word
Study, they will be working with their weekly word sort. After
they practice sorting their words/pictures. They will have
several other word study activities they can complete. |
|
Listen to Reading: When students choose Listen to
Reading, they will be listening or reading books online and
taking comprehension quizzes. This will be done on the
Raz-Kids website. |
Work on Writing: I am choosing not to have students work
on writing during their daily five rotations. This is my first
year implementing a writing curriculum and I want to be able to
supervise all writing during Writing Workshop. |
