Daily 5 and Math rotations

Today, students had thier first opportunity to jump into our daily 5 literacy activities. They have a choice of choosing one of 5 options:

1. Listening
2. Word Work
3. Reading to Self
4. Reading to Someone
5. Work on Writing

Each rotation is approximetley 15-17 minutes. Students have been practicing each skill individually, so it was a treat to see them all in action! As students complete their work, I am able to work with individual students or small groups.

We continued  the rotation theme into math. This week, students are working in groups of 3 to work on patterning skills, number practice, subitizing (recognizing number groupings), working with Ms. Ketcheson and practicing skills on the computer.

Finally, we ended our reading a terrific story: Edmin Speaks Up. Edwin is just a baby who has a lot to say! Students really had to use context to predict what Edwin was trying to tell his mom.
