Guided Reading
What you can expect your children to bring home in their Zip-Lock Book Bags:
Books - A new one every time I meet with your children, or a choice book from their book box.
Reading Log- Write the title of the book that your child reads to you or with you. Simply write the title and sign!
I will be introducing the different names for the groups I am meeting with to the kids next week. I have decided to name my reading groups as follows:
Polka Dots
Stripes
Checkered
Plaid
I chose patterns to differentiate between the colors we use on the "Making Choices" chart and to bridge the gap between the expansive reading levels we have in our class.
Take-Home Folders!
Everyone has been doing a great job of returning homework each day as well as the clear folders for notes from the school!
