We started our new reading series today that we will pilot until the end of the year. The structure will be similar as we will have a main story that we read along with vocabulary, grammar, writing and spelling.
One of the changes that you will see right away though is the spelling list. This program has a more traditional spelling list of twenty words. We will be trying this out for a while. There won't be a sort that goes with the word list. It is more of a traditional spelling list that parents probably grew up with.
Tomorrow we will read the main story of the week, Riding Freedom. The kids will have several different ways that they can read it or even have it read to them digitally.
Each week we will have a Focus Wall that has the story and major concepts that we are working on. The Focus Wall will appear as a large poster in the back of the room, but also as a webpage. From the webpage there are many links that go through our story. Here is this weeks Focus Wall.
I also set up spelling city for the rest of the year with our Journeys Textbook. If students go to our Spelling City Page they will find the entire word list for spelling and vocabulary. We are going to start on Week 16 for spelling.
