If you were just in Ms. Dorsey's rotation, look for Mrs. Fugal in Room 200.



If you were just in Ms. Tall's rotation, you are in the right place today.
For today, choose your own seat.
1. Individual Reading 
    At the end of individual reading time,
      Pick up your file folder.
      Fill out your reading log -- Date is required.
2.  Classroom Orientation

  1. Where do you find today's agenda?
  2. Where is the pencil sharpener? 
  3. Where do you pick up and put away your folders?
  4. Where do you hand in papers?
  5. What if I'm absent? 

3. Partner Fluency Practice.

Reading Strategy #1 
4. Metacognition -- Noticing your own thinking.


IAMNOWHERE!



What distracts you?  What keeps you from focusing on the thing you are supposed to be reading? 

Do you pay attention?

You can choose to focus on one thing, and let others not distract you.

What do you do when you've been distracted and realize you haven't really been reading -- then what if you're just not getting it?

We started

Welcome and Needed Supplies

for those of you who were just in Ms. Tall's class --
Welcome to Ms. Dorsey's Rotation for Seventh Grade Reading class!

     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.

Here I am in Central Park -- New York City!
