Language Arts Centers:

Read to Self: Students read books from their personalized book boxes. Students can also choose from our classroom leveled library.

Read With Others: The focus of this center is working together and making decisions together. Students will focus on using the app Raz Kids to read with each other or use phonics decodable books to read with each other.

Word Work: students choose from a variety of activities that focus on sight words, letter work, CVC words, and rhyming. Students are encouraged to work on something that they need some extra help with. For instance, if they don't know all of their sight words yet, that should be their area of focus.

Work on Writing/Science: Students work in their new "fish observation journal" to observe a variety of things regarding our pet fish. We make 1-2 observations a week. Some are done independently, some are done in groups, and some are done as a whole class. We will work on these into May and continue to discuss our observations as we go. This is the final entry.

Listen To Reading: Students listen to the story, The Gingerbread Man and discuss their favorite parts of the story and why. They are invited to draw, write, or film their answers.

Creation: Students can create whatever they would like, whether building with blocks, creating a movie, or working on a project made from various scraps. They are invited to put it on their Seesaw journal
