LITERACY CENTERS

10/24/2017

 
Literacy is a big part of the first grade day!  Much of that time is taken by small group reading with Miss Kylie.  When she's doing that we're working independently.  Everyone is doing something different; it's a little bit of organized chaos, a little bit of magic, and a whole lot of learning!
Word Work
​

We study a different phonics pattern each week.  Then we each use words based on our reading level and look for patterns, learn about them, and make sure we can recognize them in text and use them in writing.

Vocabulary

Each week we have four new vocabulary words.  We make motions and faces to help remember them and use them in writing and conversation.  Once a week we do Vocabulary Rock and Roll to solidify those words. 
Poetry

Every day we get a new poem.  That means so far we have 42 poems!  We're collecting them in a small binder and read them every morning or during quiet reading time when we want something a little different.

Scholastic News

Scholastic News is a great source of current events, science, and social studies.  We learn about the topic and do some writing.  This week we focused on answering questions with specific evidence from the text.
Reading a Good Book

Once a day, at least, we curl up with a good book.  We've practiced finding "just right books" and then we read lots of them.  We collect them in our books boxes and trade them out in the library so we never get bored.

Research Projects

As you know last week we started our independent research projects.  We're each studying two Colorado animals.  We're doing research online and in books and writing down all of our findings to compare!
Whew!  We are busy!
