Reading Log

Parents,
We are bringing home a reading log tonight.
Once student read 100 books or chapters,
they will earn a class prize.
Please find the log in their backpack with more information.
Here is a review of some decoding and comprehensions strategies
 you may find helpful when reading at home!
Happy Reading!

Here are some of the decoding reading strategies we have been working on with students depending on their reading level and needs.
These strategies can help you at home, as well,
when your child gets stuck on a word they are unsure of.
We hope you find them helpful!









In developing Comprehension, 
one strategy we have learned 
is to Check for Understanding while reading.
This is when we take a pause during reading and think about
who the story is about and what is happening
in the story.
Here is some great information for parents to help with working on comprehension during reading times at home:

Such a fun last day for me with the class! We had a fun flashlight party with our new little books, David's Father by Robert Munsch . And most fun of all, the gerbils got to explore their amusement park we built them. Some videos and photos are below! I hope the students had as much fun as I did today. Wishing everyone a wonderful break and  see you in the new year! Love, Ms. McCullough

Story Writing

Today we finished our first story! We began with brainstorming characters and settings and descriptive words for both. We came up with ideas for either a lost story or a stuck story. We thought of 3 ways our character  could try to solve the problem, finally solving it on the third try! Then we came up with interesting ways to end our story such as the character's feelings, a lesson learned or a reflection. We are very proud of our hard work and look forward to sharing our stories at conferences with you in March!
