Language Arts:
Mini-Lessons for the First 30 Days (Rituals, Routines, Responsibilities of Daily 5/Readers Workshop)
Mini-lessons are short (5-15 minutes) and laser-focused. These particular lessons are like stepping stones and will help us become ready to confidently dive into more vigorous reading and writing instruction. These will be revisited throughout the year
This is our last week of the rituals and routines portion of our language arts curriculum. Next week we will start our first unit, which will focus on centers in which students have choice in how they show understanding/mastery, sight word practice, rhyming, main idea, and letter sound, formation, and understanding. We will also be sending home some "home practice" for students next Friday.
