Daily 5

This week we are building our stamina as we learn to read to self for 15 minutes or more at a time.  Remembering the three ways to read a book are read the pictures, read the words, or retell a familiar story.  We have also been learning how to listen to reading on the computers with Tumble Books.  This is a program that all students can access at home via the JBD website, just scroll down and click on the dancing book for Tumble Books.  Happy Reading!

Read to Self

We are working on reading to ourselves and building our reading stamina.  Today we "shopped" for books and picked four books for our book bags out of Mrs. Lister's class library.  We are working on keeping our eyes on the book, staying in one place, reading the entire time, and reading silently.  This is part of our Daily Five classroom organization.  Stay tuned for more about Daily Five!
