We have increased our stamina for read to self up to 3 minutes! This is great news! I know that doesn't seem like a lot of time, but it is important for students to practice correct reading behaviors from the start. If a child is off task in any way, we stop (not singling out that child of course) and review proper behaviors. I talk about building stamina in reading like building stamina for running a marathon. We start slowly and train correctly.
I did a comparison with shoes today with picking good fit books. Ask your child about that. Mrs. Patterson came in today to talk about empathy. Some friends went to the library today. In writing workshop, we wrote Weekend News based on yesterday's 5 Finger Planner. We discussed homophones today (words that sound the same but are spelled differently). Our focus mainly are our/are; here/hear; there/their; where/wear.
In math, we began talking about addition strategies and reviewed different areas of place value.
