It is Time for Reader's Workshop!

Reader's Workhop is the time during the day where the children work individually and in small groups on reading skills. As of this week they have 4 stations they have to complete within 2 days. Those stations are Art Work, Word Work, ABC Work and Listen to Reading. At each station they have several choices of how and what they want to work on for those skills.  These choices are a great way to meet their different learning abilities and preferences. I love to see how they take ownership of their learning. Check out the work we are doing so far.
Kristian is reading an Alphabet big book, one of our choices at ABC Work.

Macy is retelling the story, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, with magnetic letters.
Retelling stories with props is another ABC Work choice.

Trenton is doing a fabulous job rereading Mary Wore Her Red Dress at ABC Work.

Dorien is making the mouse from our story, Mouse Mess, at Art Work . Doesn't it look great?

What will David's mouse decide to eat? Will it be cheese, crackers, cookies, pickles? Mouse likes all of these!

Khalil and Briell are matching pictures to color words and reading them at the pocket chart choice from Word Work.

Ashlyn is writing words from the Word Wall on a dry erase board at Word Work.
