Dear Mom and Dad:
We continued practicing our stamina for reading in our literacy block which we call Daily 5. We have been working on one of the five categories which is called "read to self". Building stamina means that I am building up my reading muscles each day. We reviewed what the 3 ways to read a book is, how to choose a good fit book and what "peeking poodle" means. During "read to self" I can quickly get my book bin, find a good spot, have my eyes on the book and read the entire time.
We worked in our visual journals today and started a page called "What I know about grade 1 and grade 2". I had to follow step by step instructions to make a border for my page using a ruler. With the help of my peers I also followed instructions to glue a series of questions into my journal in the correct order. We all did a fantastic job!
Mrs. McEvoy's group had music this afternoon. We all had gym this afternoon where we are working on how to move about the gym and being a good team player. I should be able to quickly find a partner and or group and work cooperatively with my group members to complete a task.
With the sudden change in weather, please make sure I am properly dressed for outside recess, snow pants, mittens, hats and a warm jacket will help me stay warm outside. Thank you!
Question of the day: What does the reading strategy "peeking poodle" remind us to do?
Love,
The Rainbow Triad
