September 18 ~ Reading Block 1

At the beginning of class we finished up our conversation on scholarships.  Students shared the scholarships they found and decided that the money they receive from a scholarship does not have to be paid back.

Today we started the centers.

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 completed 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.  

Center 3: Fluency ~ Students finished their notes on fluency.  Then they partner read a book.  While partner reading they had to work on stopping at periods and taking a breath at commas.  At the end of the center, students rated themselves on how they did.  They then had to find one thing they did good and one thing they could work on.  

Center 4Story Elements ~ This week our reading skill focus is cause and effects.  Students read Wilma Unlimited and made a cause and effect chart.  Then students had to create their own cause and effect cards.
