The Royal T-shirts

On Wednesday Miss Brandy (Brayden's mom) and Hunny Bunny (our volunteer) worked with the royal subjects to make our class t-shirts. We'll wear them out  for the first time on our field trip to the Jacksonville Zoo on Tuesday, October 26. However, we might just be tempted to wear them before then because they are so fabulous!

Star Student of the Week - October 8

Evan is such a gentleman -- He's courteous, polite and thoughtful. That's the stuff that star students are made of!

"It is Time for Reader's Workshop"

That's how we begin our song to start Reader's Workshop. Last week we began making our own choices at Reader's Workshop. The children love having these choices and taking ownership of their learning! (Don't we all love having some control over our lives?) They can choose from Word Work, Work on Writing, Listen to Reading, ABC Work, Computer, and Art Work throughout the week, but they do have to do all of them each week. Then at least once a week they meet with the Queen for Guided Reading to work on those "Read the Word" skills. (and I love reading with them!). Check out last week's action at Reader's Workshop below:

Robert is matching capital and lowercase letters at ABC Work.

 Doria is working on letter skills at Computer.

 Jacob is writing names at Word Work.

 Chelsea is practiing pointing to words and reading at ABC Work.

Rose and Bella are practicing the "look at the picture" strategy at Guided Reading with the Queen.
