My students have spent 21 hours reading on Myon. We have also begun reading together taking turns in a small group.
ReplyDeleteArt- Our learning objective that supports Math- Students will be able to use a ruler to help draw St. Basil Cathedral (3-5).
ReplyDeleteWe have made it to 5 minutes.
ReplyDeleteWe are at 5 minutes.
ReplyDeleteI believe ELL push ins start this week so we will be working on schedules to start small groups with the kiddos.... I’m ready to start this with second grade ��
ReplyDeleteWe have been doing shortened rotations of daily 5 over the last week in order to build stamina and learn the regular routine which will begin on the 27th. Most groups have been able to sustain 10-12 minutes of read to self or read to someone during that rotation.
ReplyDeleteWe are working on what is a good fit book for individual students and building reading stamina. We are also responding to reading in Reader's Notebooks by logging what we are reading and summarizing what was read.
ReplyDelete1. My students are truly enjoying their first project and really like the idea that they can create in the platform. 2. The students are reading together, individually, and listening aloud in a productive manner. 3. I have had 100 percent participation during activities, and while we are all learning together, no one has just flat out given up.
ReplyDeleteWe have been practicing reading to self and building stamina. We range from 9-12 minutes. They struggle reading that long but we are trying.
ReplyDelete10 minutes
ReplyDeleteMy students have begun to use Lexia in the classroom to help them with the reading skills. We introduced the Seesaw app to the students last week and plan on using it throughout the year as a way of allowing students to practice literacy skills and be able to share them with their parents.
ReplyDeleteI do not teach reading in my room, but when students are done with their work they do read. I have had students read for 15 minutes at a time. *Note, that student rushed through their work and laid down on the carpet to read a graphic novel while the rest of the class took their test.

ReplyDeleteBefore teaching math my students will read to self 5 to 10 minutes in the morning and also when assignments are complete they are allowed to read in my reading center.

ReplyDeleteWhen my students finish their math assignment early, they read for 5-10 minutes until the other students are finished.
ReplyDeleteNext week we are starting to look at the letter sounds of the alphabet and looking at them one by one, so this week we are working on just becoming familiar with letters. So the Objective is "I can show you a letter". We will be doing a lot with Chicka Chicka Boom Boom this week!
ReplyDeleteThis is Rachel Goforth, I'm not sure why it is coming up as unknow.
DeleteMy class can do between 5 to 7 right now. I have a few that are struggling with staying on task but they are improving.
ReplyDeleteMy class is reading up to 5-10 minutes. Some students struggle to stay focused in reading silently. Improvement has been made.
ReplyDeleteThe students I am currently working with are able to read at least 10 mins quietly.
ReplyDeleteMy students know the Habits of Success and what Self-Directed Learning Cycle is for Summit Learning. They know where to locate the rubric for each class and what it is used for.
ReplyDeleteMy students are struggling with building stamina during reading. They read independently for 5-7 minutes but they lose focus in less than 5 minutes when reading with a partner.
ReplyDeletei have the students effectively group reading and putting in order phrases of the coolidge school song lyrics
ReplyDeleteWe are working on letter recognition, letter sounds and sight words. My older students are working on comprehension and looking for details within a passage.
