Current Studies:

READING:

Readers workshop gives us a chance to focus on comprehension skills and to understand author's purpose and focus.

During our 90 minute Literacy Block we will be reading books at our independent level, keeping a reader's journal, setting goals to master reading skills, listening to read-alouds and mini-lessons, playing in Literacy Stations, and acting out Reader's Theatre. It is a lot to cover, but it makes for an exciting reading block EVERYDAY!
