This morning I met with one of my guided reading groups to introduce literature circles. Lit Circles are a fun way to talk about books and develop a deeper understanding. To begin with, each child was given a new book called The Desk. There are 5 specific roles to be assigned during a lit circle. For the first few rounds everyone will be working on the same job until we are more comfortable. Today's job is Favorite Part Finder. When each child is done reading the book they will write and draw about their favorite part and then present to the group. I will be introducing literature circles to the entire class over the new few weeks.
Today in handwriting we worked on the letter i. We learned that this letter is part of a group called kite stringers. Tomorrow we will be working on u.
