January fun!

It has been a busy month since we came back from Christmas break! It has been fun getting back into the swing of things, and seeing the growth made in just a few weeks!

We have dove right into doing Daily 5 Reading stations at least twice a week. This gives students an opportunity to work with me in a small group setting on reading skills, as well as work in small groups at their level.  Some stations include Khan Academy, Vocabulary Activities, Silent Reading towards AR points, and a hands-on activity or game. The students really enjoy this time as it allows them to work for a short amount of time and then get up and move.  It also gives them a chance to be out of their own seat, collaborate, and talk with each other to problem solve, as they know not to interrupt me while I am working with a group. Here are a few pictures from this past week's Daily 5 time.

A few pictures from some fun recess time! It is fun to see them still having fun doing some of the "simple" things!
