Week 7 and Week 8


Week 7 was a busy one for me and around campus, so I didn't have a chance to write anything specific.  BUT...for week 8 we held a K-1 Literacy Night.  Our amazing K-1 team of teachers put together a presentation for parents about Daily 5.  They also shared specific strategies to support their child as a reader at home.  They showed a video of how to preview a book, so parents could see how to read a new book with their child. They also shared the bookmark below, so parents have some strategies to use at home.  We also had books available for parents to take home and read with their child.  We didn't have quite the turnout we had hoped, but the parents that did come, were engaged and excited about taking new ideas and books home!

Week 6

This week, teachers were working hard to get their DRAs completed, so most continued to have Daily 3 going.  In Café, some teachers started working on summarizing text.  Check out the posters below to see how they modeled it.
