Our first full week of Reading Workshop is complete! It went well and we enjoyed working in small groups to grow as readers (and writers!). This week in Workshop we all learned about close reading and how that helps us understand a text better. Some groups also read a poem and then chose their favorite line of that poem to be in their own mini-poem. Everyone enjoyed this activity and we had some pretty creative poems!
Also in ELA this week, we continued learning about narrative writing and the good strategies authors use in their writing. We will be writing our own personal narratives soon and we are going to try to incorporate many of the strategies we read in other stories, like Saturdays and Teacakes.
Our Class "Shelf"ie continues to be filled! Keep up the great reading everyone! Check out our progress below.
In other news ... We have a new room setup and some other new elements, too.
Test your observation skills! If you can find at least 3 new things in our room, send me an email to win a small prize! Hint: Some changes are small ... you have to look closely!
