Our First Sub!

I had a meeting this morning and the sub reported that the class was wonderful! They did two rounds of Daily: Read to Self and Listen to Reading (if they have headphones). 

Goal-Setting

Yesterday, we reviewed the skills we have been learning in "Social Learning" (Second Step): Be respectful, Focus Attention and Listen. Each student picked a goal to work on that day, wrote it on a post-it note, and kept it on their name tag all day as a reminder. Then they earned their TEAM reward today by keeping all their letters yesterday!

We also set goals in Writer's Workshop. Some students are working on additing transition words, others are working on stretching their stories by adding details.

"The Best Recess"

After a great morning with the sub and before our Math MAP test, we snuck out for a "sneaky recess." They had so much fun on the swings- the perfect brain break. 

Making Predictions Using Schema

We have read many Scaredy Squirrel books to build our schema about this squirrelly character. Here are some things we notice happen in every book that help us make predictions for the next one:
  • There's a warning at the beginning
  • He's afraid of something
  • Something happens that "was not part of the plan"
  • He plays dead
  • He ends up overcoming his fear!
