Immersed in Literacy.

Students were absorbed in their independent reading while I worked with a small group for guided reading.
Kathleen found a corner to read "Drive-in of Doom"
Shayla is nearly finished reading "Charlotte's Web". After recess every day the children do their word sorts. Today after sorting it was partner testing. They are doing a great job with learning weekly words.

Wow! What a Wednesday!! We have been busy, busy, busy all day.

This is the new book I am reading to the children each day. The story is set here on the Sunshine Coast. I hope your child may be able to tell you what has happened so far. The exciting bits are coming
Peer conferencing our writing. After personal editing, a peer may help us to see any errors we missed.
In library this afternoon, Ms Kranenberg shared a funny book and demonstrated how exciting stories can be, when they are read with expression. And then it was time for singing with Mr Angeles!!

Encouraging them to get to the side of the pool quickly.
Good job! You made it safely to the side, let me help you out.
