Announcements and Reminders:
                         





Targets for Today:
I can recognize the important places in Ms. Dorsey classroom.

I know what to do when I come into class.

I can find books and read quietly and independently.  

I know the purpose of Partner Fluency and can begin tracking myself. 


Today’s  Agenda:

Welcome and Needed Supplies


     Bring your own pens and pencils.  It also helps to have your own lined paper.  If you have a book you want to read or that you need to read for your English or another class, bring it to read during our individual reading time.
  • Find your assigned seat. 





Notice the portion of the whiteboard for Reading 7.



  • Pick up (from the front) 
    •      a reading log

  • Don't forget to fill out your reading log every time.  It counts on your grade!   
    • Fill out every part of the line for each day: date, type of material read, title, something about what you read, minutes read.
    • This log should stay in your folder!!

Getting acquainted with our classroom:
  •  Where do you turn things in?
  •  Where do we keep our folders?
  •  Where do we find the materials for fluency practice?
  • Where could I find a book or magazine to read?
  •  Where can I find handouts in case I've been absent?
  • What can I find on this blog?

The disclosure document and signature form --
find it on Canvas. 
Also complete the Strategies Pre-Assessment.

2.  Partner Fluency Practice

       Get up and out of your seat!! 

Each partner gets a page protector and a copy of the passage to read.

       Put the passage into the page protector.



Partner Fluency will help you feel comfortable reading out loud.

 Your partner can also help you notice what kind of mistakes 

you  make (long pauses, skipping words, saying the wrong word, etc.) so that you can work on those and get better! 


    One-Minute Partner Fluency Practice
  •        Each partner gets a page protector and a copy of the poem to read.
  •        Put the poem into the page protector.
  •        With a classmate you will take turns reading the passage.
  •        You will be timed for one minute.
  •        Your partner will follow along and mark any errors and mark where you ended. 
  •        Notice how far you read.  Figure out how many words you read, then subtract any errors.
  •           Write it down.  
              ______ wpm
MAKE SURE YOU FILL OUT THE DATE, PASSAGE NUMBER OR LETTERS, AND WORDS PER MINUTE EACH TIME YOU HAVE HAD A TURN TO DO A TIMED READING.  






 
  Fill out the next column on the graph for each time you read.

Write in the date, the passage number, and your words per minute.

After we get the folders, your fluency graph and your sheet protector with the poem inside will stay in your folder. 







If You Were Absent:
Pick up a pink reading make-up log, or print the log from Skyward, to complete the make-up reading assignment.
See above for the other activities we did in class.
