Check out Ms. Ceneri’s 3rd graders Fluency stars! Each week, Ms Ceneri’s students learn a new phonics pattern and practice their pattern in a passage. This week they began their routine by highlighting all the words that match their pattern of the week and practiced reading just those words. Through the week, they practiced reading each sentence and paragraph chorally, with a partner, and on their own each day. This Friday they all had an opportunity to perform in front of their teammates! Keep up the good work!
This past week 7-8th graders in Ms. Venable’s Read 180 Day had an UN Day. They have been working to expand their vocabulary through the study of morphology. This week’s focus was on the prefix -un. Check out their Morpohlogy Wall and some of the games Ms. Venable created to add some extra joy!
