P is for Passport

At the Bridges Bay, we are getting our minds, "Ready to Read" with our January book of the Month, "P is for Passport". In Reader's Workshop, we are working on learning tools or strategies to help us become better readers. One of the strategies that we learned was to "Warm Up" our brains before reading. We were to preview the cover of the unfamiliar book we were reading by predicting what we thought the book would be about. We used the pictures on the cover as well as the title.

Students previewed our January Book of the Month, "P is for Passport". They responded by recording what their thoughts were when they looked at its cover.
Students' responses to our Book of the Month can be found in our class library.

Sight Word Centers

Each day at the Bridges Bay, our students complete Morning Work. This usually means practicing our WOW words lists using magnetic letters, writing sentences with colored pencils, or copying these words with dry erase markers and boards. Each student is working on a individualized list. You received an updated copy of your student's list today. Your student should be working five words at a time and should atleast be able to read List Two. Thank you to all of the parent(s) that are working with their students at home with our WOW words making match games, flashcards, and more!
