READING GROUPS!
Thank you for your support with reading at home with your kiddo each night! PLEASE make sure this book comes back each day in yoru kiddo’s SHARK folder. We will work on reading and fluency one day and then comprehension the next and our group cannot run without the books :)
We are working on Level 2 of Observational Comment Writing. We will be in week in our third and final week this week. Below is an example of our writing last week. This week will be the same process just a different topic! We are getting so good at coming up with items to put in our circle map and then narrowing them down to our two BEST words for our final written piece!
Day One:
We write as a group! First we make our circle map, transfer that to a tree map and then tap our our sentences. This week we are adding more to each connecting word and we are also using the word and to make combined sentences. We are also using pronouns to create varied sentences that start different and provide more of a flow when we read our writing!
Day Two:
We regroup and I display the completed tree map and the kiddos write the sentences independently. We take time to make sure that each sentence has our topic and our connecting words as well as the word and to combine ideas
.
Day Three:
We are independent writers! I display the circle map. They kiddos use a blank tree map to transfer the information and then tap out and write their sentences!
Topic 3: Addition Facts to 20
