Reading in Action

In reading, the students have been learning how to read to self. While they do this, they have learned several strategies to help them in their reading including: check for understanding, cross check, reread, tune in for interesting words, and monitor and fix-up.

Odd and Even Song

We have been learning the difference between odd and even numbers. One way to help us remember was singing this catchy tune we learned on schooltube. Have your child share it with you at home.

Pictures of our Read Across America Day!

Read Across America Day and Dr. Seuss' Birthday was Friday March 2nd this year. The students really enjoyed listening to a variety of read alouds from different teachers. A big THANK YOU goes out to all of the teachers to helped to make the day a great success.

It's been a while ...

Read Across America is March 2nd. My elementary school is participating in a school-wide reading day. The students are able to switch classes to hear different read alouds from that the teachers choose.http://mcbeereaders.blogspot.com What are you doing to celebrate?

New Year, New Ideas

As the beginning of another school year draws near, I am anxious to try a lot of the new ideas that I have gotten from fellow bloggers. From my new classroom layout, behavior system, Daily 5, and all of the printables that I have acquired (both free and bought from teacherspayteachers) I am really excited to begin with this solid foundation. I am also going to do my best to share materials as well. I love blogging and all of the other inspired teachers out there in cyber space.
