The kids have all conferenced with me this week.
My 1-2 YELLOW readers will simply read TO me weekly.
My 3 YELLOW readers will begin to tick off words on our GREEN word lists.
My GREEN reader will continue with word lists and category words.
And my BLUE reader will have word lists to linked to specific skills and rules.
WOW!
Everyday the kids will read independently for 15-30 minutes.
Here are some of them reading around the room and some of them are reading in our new reading totes:
Wow! We have such puzzle solvers this year! These kiddos are working on our 1st 100 piece puzzle. Yes they finished, And oh no, I forgot to get a photo!
It was a cute raccoon!
These ladies finished a turkey puzzle in no time at all!
And get a load of this one...so many pieces, so much teamwork!
The feast area in housekeeping is also very popular... and tasty!
Our two college girls, Ms.Seifert and Ms. Walrich, made these cutie patootie turkey puppets with the kids.
They are made from the tips of my husband's work gloves...shhhh, he'll never notice!
