Week 10

Here are some highlights from the week...

In reading this week, we really focused on dropping those bad reading habits and picking up good habits. We all have bad habits, but when we know what they are, we can drop them and pick up good habits instead!

Some bad reading habits that we want to drop are:

• The Freeze
• The Tell Me
• The Blooper 

When we come to a tricky word, sometimes we freeze up, we ask someone to tell us what it is, or we just guess. Instead we want to pick up good habits.



Some good reading habits that we want to pick up are:

• Check the picture
• Look at ALL the parts of a word
• Check-it (does it look right, does it sound right, does it make sense)

In writing, students have been doing a great job sharing their small moments and stretching their small moments across pages. We have been focusing on being a supportive writing partner by listening, giving specific compliments and asking questions. It is awesome to see the eager and excited authors of Room 112!
