Welcome to the 2020-2021 school year in the Reading Center! This year I will be traveling from room to room to teach lessons that I would normally teach in the Reading Center. I have always loved watching the kids pick out books each week, but this year will be different. I will have a cart with me and students will have the opportunity to choose a book from my cart. If students have certain books they’d like to request, I will take a note of that and get them the book if it is available. Checkout will not occur weekly. Look for your student to bring home a book approximately twice a month. All books will be cleaned and “quarantined” for three days. I always tell the students that their book should “live” in their backpack. Anytime it is read, it should return to the backpack. This way, it is always there to be turned in when the time comes.
Students will have an opportunity to watch a lesson each week on Google Classroom. Their classroom teachers will remind to do that. The lesson is recorded and I am able to view which students have watched the lessons.
This month we will be focusing on developing a love of reading. Students will hear stories of perseverance. We will focus on different types of stories, sequencing of stories and we will learn a little history and science along the way!
Thank you for your continued patience as we navigate through this interesting school year.
