September 10 - All Reading Blocks

This week we began our center work.  We will be doing centers on Tuesday and Thursdays.  There are four centers.  Students will attend two centers on Tuesday and two on Thursday.

Center 1: Lit Circle ~ During this center students will be meeting with me to discuss their reading book.  They should have read their reading chunk and complete their job by the time they meet.  This means they have an entire week to get the reading and their job done.

Center 2: AR/Silent Reading ~ During this center students have time to quietly read their AR book.  If they have finished a book, then they may take their AR test.  This is to help students reach their AR goal by the end of the quarter.   Goals will be given out later this week.

Center 3: Fluency ~ Students took notes on what fluency is so that next week they will be able to practice and grade each other on their fluency.

Center 4: Story Elements ~ This week our reading skill focus is story elements.  Students read the story on page 45 and made a setting and character chart.
