Working Hard... 

During small group reading time, students either work on the Lexia Reading Core 5 program, read with a teacher, write answers to questions about the story they are reading, or work with a teacher on specific skills.

Poem of the Week ~ March Wind

Fluency

from Imagine It!

Fluency:  A Definition

• Fluency is the effortless reading of words. Fluent readers group words into meaningful phrases and use expression appropriately.

• Fluency involves both reading speed and accuracy of word identification.

• Fluency is critical for but not sufficient for comprehension.

Why is fluency critical?

• Fluent readers are able to focus their attention on understanding the text. Fluency frees the reader's attention so the reader is better able to focus on constructing meaning and interpreting the text.

• Nonfluent readers focus their cognitive energies on decoding and accessing individual words.  There is little available for comprehension.

Poem of the Week ~ I'm Glad I'm Me

I’M GLAD I’M ME

by Jack Prelutsky

I’m glad I’m me, I’m glad I’m me.

There’s no one else I want to be.

I’m happy I’m the person who

Can do the things that I can do.

If I were someone else, then I

Would feel so strange, I’d wonder why.

I’m positive that I’d be sad -

But I am me, and I am glad.

Poem of the Week ~ Winter is Warmest

Winter is Warmest

Author Unknown

Winter is the warmest season

Oh, you say you want a reason?

Is it warm when snow piles high and wide?         

It is if you're bundled up inside

When it's storming, when it's raining

I stay inside without complaining

Other people like to ski

Or sled down a hill, but not me

While you're bundling up in your jacket

I'm tearing open a hot cocoa packet

I don't mind summer, I'll make that clear

But winter's my favorite time of the year
