This week in Literacy, we will be taking a look at Reader’s and Writer’s Workshop. :
Reading workshop is a model that focuses on the strengths and needs of each individual reader. Reader’s Workshop will consist of Independent reading, mini lessons, shared reading, modeled reading, guided reading etc. I plan to meet with a guided group each and every day! This week we will be looking at how we choose books, how we know if our reading is at the right level and what readers workshop will look like in portable 309. Stay tuned next week for more information about Reader’s Workshop!
Writing Workshop: Students in portable 309 will be given opportunities to write in a variety of genres to help foster a love of writing. Writer’s workshop allows me to meet the needs of all the students by differentiating instruction and gearing lessons based on information gathered in the workshop. This week we will be decorating our Writing workshop books and discussing what Writers workshop will look like and sound like in our room. Please see the guidelines that will be coming home in the agenda tomorrow! Decorating our notebooks is our opportunity to be creative!
