Expression
How are you modeling what fluent readers sound like? Here's a great anchor chart...remember, the rate of reading is only one piece of the puzzle!
Words to Inspire
Fluent readers...
Here's another anchor chart that can act as a "fluency reminder" for our students...just post it at your guided reading table! How would you scaffold each of these concepts for your students?
News & Notes
- Just a reminder/clarification for Writer's Workshop: All students should be working with "booklets" as they publish. Should they move beyond the number of pages provided we can always add more pages. Working in booklets helps to keep students organized & assists with editing routines.
- Don't forget to review the "instructional schedule" spreadsheet that is attached to this email. If you have made any adjustments to your routines, please let me know.
- The Star Math Assessment will be administered during the week of 1/25. This will be done during computer time. Please remember to run your reports so that we can determine if it is necessary to adjust our math SGO's.
