Reading Update

Being a review week in our reading series this week, we did not have a formal spelling list. The children were very excited, however, to choose their own words! I again was impressed with the authentic- and challenging- high frequency or high interest words they decided to practice. I noticed throughout the week that the children were very motivated to practice these words that they had chosen for themselves. I can’t wait to grade the tests this weekend and see how they did! We spent our reading time throughout the week reviewing homophones, antonyms, synonyms, and similes. The children practiced comprehension strategies and fluency, and guided reading groups met as well. The children took their (lengthy!) assessment on Friday, and next week we will begin Unit 3!
