During Readers' Workshop we begin each day with a mini-lesson (recently we have been learning reading strategies for decoding words as well as learning about the story elements of character, setting, and character traits -- up next: main idea and supporting details), followed by time where students read to themselves (we are practicing building stamina for reading silently for a little bit longer each day), then a literacy center time where students are either partner reading, reading on their RAZ kids online reading accounts, or working on literacy apps on iPads (we will be practicing adding in more center choices such as listening and word work activities one at a time as we go along). We end Readers' Workshop with a group share related to the day's mini-lesson.
During Writers' Workshop we begin each day with a mini-lesson (we are currently learning about writing "small moments" which are personal narratives about things happening in our lives), followed by time for students to work on writing independently, and finally a share time, where students are able to share their work with the class. Yesterday we did a different type of share where everyone partnered up and got to share a piece they have been working on and editing with one partner!
