Literacy Lab

This week was our first full week of Literacy Lab.  In Literacy Lab, we continue to practice and learn literacy skills.  Typically we would break up into 5 different groups and rotate throughout the week.  This week (since it was our first full week) we only broke up into 4. We focused on our names this week.  We counted the letters in our names, clapped and snapped the syllables in our names, cut letters out of magazines to make our names, made them with play-dough, used cookie cutters to make our names and traced our names with glue and added fruit loops.  In the upcoming weeks we will begin working on letter sounds, kindergarten sight words and literacy reading skills.

As time progresses we will begin guided reading.  We use the DRA (Diagnostic Reading Assessment) to assess the students and their reading levels twice a year (Fall and Spring).   You will get more information about these reading levels at your first quarter fall conference.  Thanks for stopping by to see what we have been doing this week.  Take care and have a great week.
