Reader's Workshop- In Reader's Workshop we have been discussing what readers do. We have learned how to partner read and how to talk about a book or story. The students have enjoyed reading both fiction and non fiction books, looking at the pictures and discussing what they notice. We know how to read like a teacher and how to retell what has happened.
Writer's Workshop- Our first focus in Writer's Workshop is learning how to draw a detailed picture and label it. We are also working on telling a story using transition words, to help keep our story in order. We will start to transfer our stories into books and continue to label or write words or sentences to give more details to our stories.
Phonics- We will use a multi-sensory approach to teach phonics, handwriting and phonemic awareness.Â
