Every day we participate in a 30 minute segment called "Champion's Review." During this time we review different math concepts, like tens and ones, tens frames, tally marks, weather, 120 charts, graphing, and more. This past week we have been encouraging the students to write complete sentences about the weather. Two of our students, JW and EK, wrote awesome sentences!
After several weeks, we have finally learned about all of the components of Daily 5! We started off with Read to Self and spent a few weeks working on building our stamina. We got so excited each time we gained more "reading muscle." Then, we introduced Read to Buddy, which is always a class favorite! After Read to Self and Read to Buddy, we learned about Listen to Reading. The class was happy to learn that in 1st grade, we do listening on the Kindles! Over the past couple of weeks we have learned about Work on Writing and Work on Words. There are so many fun ways we can become better readers through our Daily 5! Now we are slowly moving towards making our own rotation choices. Right now we are rotating with our reading group, but soon we will be able to pick our own rotations! Here are some photos of the kids in each of the different centers this past week. Click each photo to enlarge and read the caption.
