Today we reached our goal of 20 minutes of Read to Self! We have been building up our stamina since the first week of school. Minute by minute, students have practiced getting started right away, reading quietly, staying in one spot, and reading for the whole Read to Self time. We reach our goal!! This means students will be rewarded with a flashlight Friday. Next week, on October 4th, please send in a working flashlight (and maybe some extras if you have them) so we can turn out the lights and sit under tables and read by flashlight. If next week goes well, students may even get to bring a stuffy to read to on Friday We'll keep you posted!
Because we reached our goal for Read to Self, we started working on Read to Someone. We explored reading to a partner today by sitting in EEKK position - Elbow-Elbow Knee-Knee
.
Today we also met our grade 4/5 buddies. We'll meet with our buddies on occasional Fridays to read, do art, and other fun activities. Ask your child if they remember his/her buddy's name.
