The Holiday Store at Ox Bow

Team 184 is going to a holiday store to buy Christmas

presents for family, friends and pets. How exciting we

get to buy all sorts of things! If kids want to buy

things, kids can do that at Ox Bow. The Christmas

store ends Thursday.

indpendent reading

Team 184 has been working on independent reading. IDR (independent daily reading) is  when everybody gets a book and they read for 30 minutes.

Sometimes the teacher pulls kids and works with them. 

We each have a number, it's either odd or even. When the date is odd all of the odd numbered people get to go on the floor or under their desk. If the number is even then all the even numbered people get to sit on the floor or under their desk.

Writing Workshop

In our class we do writing workshop and yesterday we wrote about our house. Today we are going to write personal narratives, but sometimes we write poems and stories about what we do on Christmas and about our lives. We also write about games the we play.

Rotations

We are going to tell you what each rotation is for. We think LTS [listen to stories] helps us with reading fluency. PR [partner read] helps us with the ability to read and listen. WW [word work] helps us with our spelling patterns. RR [reading response] helps us with story structure. Written by teammates KH and KK

Reading response

In reading response were talking about questioning. What we do is we read a book and write a question every few pages. Then we drop down 3 lines the on the 3rd line we draw a curvy line. Then it starts all over. Written by teammates KK and ZH 

Book Clubs

Team 184 has been working on book clubs and
reading about sports  and is having fun with it.  We have also been and asking questions. Asking questions are when you read a book then you ask questions before you turn the page.  And at the end you see if you can answer the questions you ask about the story.
