Reading Mystery Readers Our guided reading groups are in full swing! Each day I meet with small groups of students to work on reading. While I am working with a small group the rest of the class is working at centers. They are doing a great job of doing their work and staying on task! Thank you to those who have already signed up and those who have come in to read. If you are interested, let me know a time that works for you! We would love to have you! Words Their Way Ms. Braga’s Today we had our first words their way assessment. This is to see if the students are understanding the word groups. If there were more than three errors the student will work on the same sort again, if there is less than three errors a new sort will be sent home on Monday. Also, starting next week we will only work on a word sort for one week. 1st Grade Math Miscellaneous We have continued to work on chapter 2. Our focus this week is subtraction.
