Powerful Sentences, Read to Self, and a Noun Hunt!

We had another fantastic week of school!  The kids are doing a great job with "Read to Self" during the Daily 5.  They have been introduced to reading into an iPod to help work on their fluency.  They are encouraged to read a page, play it back and listen to themselves read, read it again, and listen again until they think it sounds perfect.  What a great way to build reading fluency!









We are also learning to build "powerful sentences" during Writer's Workshop.  Check out this very powerful sentence we wrote about a mouse:



We are all about nouns in Room 2 right now!  On Friday, we went on a "Noun Hunt" around our room.  We worked with a partner to distinguish if the noun we found was a person, place or thing.
