As we dive into week 7, I would like to focus on Independent Reading! I stumbled across this blogpost from Cult of Pedagogy. (If you haven't visited this site before, you must! It is awesome!) I would love the hear how you are using independent reading in your classroom.
After reading this post, feel free to take the time to fill out this quick Google Form about independent reading.
If you are looking for a book to get you and your class excited about reading, check out:
Week 7 Instructional Strategies
RL.K.3 With prompting and support, identify characters, settings, and major events in a story.
K.MD.1 Describe measurable attributes of objects, such as length or weight. Describe several measurable attributes of a single object.
1.RL.6 Identify who is telling the story at various points in a text.
1.NBT.3 - Compare two two-digit numbers based on the meanings of the tens and ones digits, recording the results of comparisons with the symbols >, <, =
Santa Claus and the Three Bears is a great read aloud and perfect for compare and contrast!
2.RL.9 Compare and contrast two or more versions of the same story (e.g., Cinderella stories) by different authors or from different cultures.
2.OA.1 Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems
RL.3.6 Distinguish their own point of view from that of the narrator or those of the characters.
3.G.1 Understand that shapes in different categories (e.g. Rhombuses, rectangles, and others.) may share attributes. Art Connection:
Welcome to Week 5! As we think about differentiating for our students, I would like to share some information on Multiple Intelligences. Below is a quick video that goes over each intelligence. Focusing on this in your classroom helps to easily differentiate for different learning styles in the classroom. Just by developing your lessons with these intelligences in mind, you can meet the different learners in your classroom.
I love these simple posters! They are kid friendly and can be printed and posted throughout your classroom. It is important for students to begin to understand how they learn best. This is a life long skill that if taught in the younger grades, will greatly benefit them with study skills in the future.

We are all GREAT at something. The hard part sometimes is zeroing in on what that something really is!

RL.K.7 With prompting and support describe the relationship between illustrations and the story in which they appear.
