We began separating Reading and Writing Workshop today, in the past there was an option to choose either/or in the afternoon (which will still happen from time to time). Lots of hard work building individual reading stamina was evident (10 minutes for the group today!) and tomorrow kids will begin practicing partner reading. A significant emphasis is placed on the notion that everyone is reader, where each child's skills can vary from reading pictures and/or text for meaning. This will evolve over time certainly.
There are many more photos here and check Seesaw for an entry from each child's effort during Writing Workshop!
We also welcome Samantha Elgin to our classroom. She is a Senior in UVM's Early Childhood Program and will be joining us on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 8-11:15. Welcome Samantha (and apologies for the tardy introduction)!
