September 24 ~ Reading Blocks 2, 3, 4

I would like to apologize for not keeping up on the blog.  Blogging is new to me and I am still working at it.  With that being said here is Mondays and Tuesdays reading work.

Monday:
Students worked on vocabulary Frayer Model with a group.  Students presented their word to the class and the rest of the class so they could write their kid friendly defintions.  They needed to have their defintion for each word.  Here are this weeks words

1. spire
2. shoreline
3. timbers
4. hull
5. treacherous
6. ominous

Students should have also found out the genre of The Wreck of Zephyr.  They needed to make a prediction, read the story, and then write their evidence.  

Tuesday:

Today we did centers.  

Center 1: Lit Circle ~ We discussed the book as well as the jobs that should have been done.  Then I introduced a new reading job.  Anyone that is not caught up in their lit circle book will be spending their recess getting caught up since they have had this book for three weeks already.  

Center 2: Silent/AR Reading ~ Students spend this time reading quietly their AR book.  They also have this time where they can take an AR test to reach toward their AR goal.  

Center 3: Fluency ~ students will time each other on how fast they can read their syllables.  

Center 4: Reading Skill ~ Making inferences ~ Students created an inference fold-able to put in their reading notebook.  Then they worked on making inferences with the inference triangle.
