3321 Genre Presentation " Spider"

I loved your presentation, very informative. Children at this age should be introduced to many topic like this. Due to the TEKS test I believe topic like this are not touched mushed. Science is not a priority not until they are in the older levels. they are pretty much on their own ,but I believe as a future teacher we need to more of what you guys did. I LOVED YOUR activity and presentation.
Nice Work!

Well I just want to share! My group work very hard with this Genre. I want to thank them. when we first got the topic we were all motivated, confused and excited. We all brain stormed talked, shared ideas and finally agreed on the story. I have never worked with an awesome team like this. I want to thank Ms. Pickett for allowing us to grade each other, again I have never had a an instructor who has done this. We felt like children once again and it felt good! We also learned something new from each other. I always ask the good lord to give me patience as I learn and to open minded when I work with other people. I had the most wonderful experience as we worked together. Thanks Guys I hope we have each other again!
Best wishes and God Bless all of you!

3321 Guided Shared Reading

Guided Shared reading is shared reading time during which the teacher provides support for small, flexible groups of beginning readers. The teacher helps students learn to use reading strategies, such as context clues, letter and sound knowledge, and syntax or word structure, as they read a text or book that is unfamiliar to them. The goal of guided reading is for students to use these strategies independently on their way to becoming fluent, skilled readers. Guided reading is encouraged in Elementary schools especially the early years in 1st grade. I believe guided reading works wonderful, My daughter is in First Grade and she gets so motivated to read with her group and teacher, she pushes her self to keep up with her group and shze also learn from her peers as she helps her class mates.
