Centers this week include:
Read to Self: . Students choose books from their personalized book bags. Students read books based on their specific reading level, although some books are slightly above and some are slightly below. These books are updated every 1-2 weeks. Students also work in guided reading groups with Mrs. Koepp
iPad Read to Self/Read to Others: students use Raz Kids to listen to a story, read a story, and answer comprehensive questions about the story. Students can also read a story with their partner or on their own.
Word Work: students can choose to play roll a word, CVC word memory, CVC word puzzle, rhyme time, or a variety of other CVC/sight word based games.
Work on Writing: Students will work on writing the letter Ii. They will circle their best work and be encouraged to discuss their work. When finished, students will practice writing words that start with Mm, Ss, Tt, Aa, and Nn
Listen To Reading: students will listen to (and follow along/track with their fingers) a story. They will then retell the story through drawing on paper.
Dream Box/Scratch Jr.: Students will work on their favorite math app, Dream Box or work on the basic coding app, Scratch Jr.
