Reading Groups & Sense of Hearing

After spending all last week learning about our guided reading routines today was the first day we officially met with our reading groups!  Students did a fabulous job and are very excited about becoming readers!!

During guided reading time students work through three different rotations every day: 

1.  Meeting with Mrs. Mohamed or phonics work

2.  Center (phonics, writing, reading, math, iPad, listening, science/social studies, or art)

3.  Seat work

Each rotation is 15 minutes long.

Here's a group of students using whisper phones to read to themselves when meeting with Mrs. Mohamed.

Another group of students was working on phonics work.

Students working at centers around the room.

Some students working on their seat work at their tables.

This afternoon we explored our sense of touch.  First we added materials that felt different in our five senses journals.

Then Mrs. Mohamed hid the objects below in paper bags.  Students had to use only their sense of touch to try to figure out what was inside each bag.

Having lots of fun using our sense of touch!!
