My Project
In today's world of electronics, teachers can have a hard time getting students to open a book for pleasure. The two series I am wanting are "Who Would Win" and "Animal Battles." These are high interest books, especially for boys. One series is geared more for first through third grade while the other is more for third through fifth. I work with third graders that are anywhere from Kindergarten level to fifth grade level. I have had these sets before and they are a big hit. So much so, that I need to get more as they disappear.
Small reading groups are a great place to use the whisper phones.
These are wonderful inventions that allow children to read aloud without disturbing the rest of the class or the group. Part of our reading block is devoted to grammar and writing. I have found that the game Mad Libs is a fun way to practice these skills. I wanted to give each student a game along with a special pencil for the holidays.
I am also including colored overlays of several different sizes. These help children track their reading so they can follow along. I have had good results with fluency when these tools are used. The pointers I ordered will be used a "Talking Sticks." The students are always eager to share and sometimes get a little over-anxious. The idea of talking sticks is to enter one on the table when you have something to share. It's just a little more fun than raising your hand. It helps to lessen the interruptions. Sight word flash cards were added to my list to help give students a quick review.
