Reading Workshop (December)
Reading Unit of Study: Revisiting Songs, Poems, Nursery Rhymes and Favorite Big Books to Practice Print Strategies and Fluent Reading
1) Readers use what they know about how rhythm and words go together to “read” and/or sing their songs, poems, nursery rhymes and big books.
2) Readers use their voices, faces and body gestures to read/sing/act out their songs, poems, nursery rhymes and big books carefully and with expression in storytelling reading partnerships/groups.
Writing Workshop (November-December)
Writing Unit of Study: Storytelling and Writing About Events from Our Lives
1) Writers plan for and write their narratives with a sequenced- beginning, middle, and end inside of 3-page booklets (versus list and label books that are not narratives).
2) Writing is based on true events from writers’ lives.
3) Narratives stick to one event at a time and have words that match the pictures.
4) Kindergarteners write for their readers by representing initial sounds and attempting to represent ending letter sounds for words that match their pictures.
5) Writers attempt to spell all word wall words accurately in their personal narratives.
6) Writers use spaces to make their writing clear for their readers.
