InstaDigest: The First 3 Weeks
A super-sized look at the first three weeks in my classroom!
Welcome to my classroom. Every other week, I share my daily lesson plans for both of my preps and some pictures of what this looks like in my room.
This InstaDigest is from the first three weeks of school, and you’ll probably notice that we haven’t had a full week yet.
Here’s What We Did:
What It Looked Like
Tell me about YOUR week in the comments! What’s been the highlight of your first weeks of school?
It’s the only regular grade. On occasion, we’ll make a field note about words found in our books.
Love this look into your classroom, as always!
I have a question about how you structure independent reading. Do you set a date for them to have their books finished by? (You mentioned an independent reading assignment on here, so I'm wondering if that has a specific due date.) I've been having an existential crisis (as teachers are wont to do) about wanting kids to read at their own pace (meaning, if you're reading 2 hours per week, you're good!), but also wanting them to push themselves to finish an entire book. But when I set a deadline, there are inevitably kids who are slower readers who are really struggling to finish on time. Any advice for how to handle this? :)
