As we wrap up the end of September our 2nd graders are getting more comfortable in our daily routine. We started our Reading Workshop today and we all agreed it went really well! This year students will be responsible for going through 3 different stations at their own pace. Once they finish one activity, they clean up, check the work board and head to the next one. Our stations include: ABC center where students work on vocabulary, spelling, grammar, and phonics. Writing center where students independently practice writing skills. Math center where students practice things we have previously studied in the year. Reading center where students can pick 2-3 books to read that are not in their book box.
I will be adding a Listening center where students listen to a book being read to them and respond in writing. We are waiting for our technology before we begin this. I will also be adding a Library center where students will have the chance to switch out the books in their book bins once a week to keep them interesting. In my opinion, Reading Workshop is the most important time of the day. This is when students are able to practice what we learn as a class independently. While students are practicing reading, writing, listening, and math skills, I have the chance to pull small groups and work on reading at each students level. This is where our growth will happen!
