We are having a great week! I actually got in some guided reading groups today!! Yippee!! I love it when all the training and expectations for incorporating D5 actually settles in and works like a well oiled machine! Sometimes I just look up from what we're doing and just smile because most of the kids are doing it!! Really doing it!! I am so excited for tomorrow! Way to go, guys!!!
The week after next we will begin our fairy tale unit (integrating our reading and social studies) and I wanted to share what we've been working on. This little unit is more than just reading (retelling, fiction/nonfiction/ poetry, inferring, reader's theater) and social studies. I've included some word work, writing, hands on visuals, and some math as well.
Here are a few pics:
If you can think of anything else you want added to this, or if you see something that needs fixing, just leave me a little note!! I hope you and your kids have as much fun working on this as I did putting it together!!
Thanks for stopping by!! Til next time!! Have a great rest of the week!!
Joyfully!
Nancy

ReplyDeleteHI Nancy,
ReplyDeleteI am not sure how I can contact you but just wanted to say I adore all of your ideas! I have a tiny little favour to ask in regards to your home reading logs, is there anyway to make one for grade 3 please? Thanks in advance if you are able to help!
Cheers,

This is truly phenomenal ! THANK YOU for sharing your creative genius. I was one of most fortunate children having had an English professor for a dad and an uber creative and lover of literature for a mom so I grew up on the good stuff of fairy tales, nursery rhymes and "kiddie lit" as my dad put it!! BUT, today children don't have that same good fortune. I LOVE sharing it with them, though, and this is going to make it so much better! I really appreciate your generosity, too!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful unit. Thanks so much for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteWow!!!!! This is a most amazing unit, such creativity, time, and really thoughtful choices! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!
