These students are doing the literacy station, Nonfiction News. They read nonfiction books on their level and write four facts they learn in their journasl. Also, this area is used for more word work during Daily 5. They use the pocket chart to order cards: picture, adjective, noun and verb. Then write the sentences in their workstation journal.
Word Work Ideas
Student are fixing sentences about the New Year and finding short and long vowel sound words in a story about the New Year. Other ideas are using the words HAPPY NEW YEAR, have the students use those letters to make new words and write them in their journal and use them in a sentence. Also, my students are sorting Proper and Common nouns.
