Reading Update!

Our theme this week was “Firefighters at Work.” Our new vocabulary words were: flames, forest, heat, safe and tell. These words popped up everywhere! They were on our spelling list, in our whole group stories, in our read aloud story, and even in our small group stories! The children were exposed to a variety of texts about firefighters this week. The comprehension strategy we worked on was summarizing. We worked to identify the main idea and details! During grammar, we focused on locating the subject and the predicate in each sentence.If one of these parts was missing, we worked to add it. The children also worked to punctuate a friendly letter. We are now about 2/3 of the way through our reading assessments! These are very time-consuming assessments and it can be challenging to find an isolated amount of time to devote to each one. We are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel! :)
