My weekly writing routine is\u2013<\/p>\n Mondays I introduce our writing focus for the week. Tuesdays we work on the focus together and find examples in our reading or how we use the writing in every day life. \u00a0Wednesdays the students do their\u00a0prewrite.<\/strong> \u00a0Thursdays I\u00a0revise and edit<\/strong> with each student. \u00a0Fridays we\u00a0publish\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0share<\/strong> our writings. \u00a0As you can see, they are very busy with reading and writing. My students have been using this routine for several months now and are comfortable with new weekly expectations. (For example, students now know that all sentences begin with a capital letter, have spaces between words, and end with punctuation. \u00a0They also know that certain words, like our Reading Words, need to be spelled correctly. \u00a0They know where to find them around the room. \u00a0Students also know to use good, new, descriptive vocabulary and correct grammar.) It\u2019s so exciting to watch them grow into becoming readers and writers. \u00a0I was reading their Journals recently and was noticing with pleasure how far they have come and we\u2019re only half-way through the year!<\/p>\n SPELLING WORDS-We will work with the\u00a0et<\/strong>\u00a0word family.<\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0get \u00a0 met \u00a0 pet \u00a0 set \u00a0 this \u00a0 do<\/strong><\/p>\n I have a\u201dhelper word\u201d for each of the short vowels. \u00a0Their \u201chelper word \u201d for the short\u00a0e<\/b> is \u201cegg.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n short a<\/strong>\u00a0is \u201capple\u201d \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>short\u00a0e\u00a0<\/strong>is \u201cegg\u201d \u00a0<\/strong> \u00a0short\u00a0i<\/strong> is \u201cigloo\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n short\u00a0o\u00a0<\/strong>is \u201coctopus\u201d \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>short\u00a0u\u00a0<\/strong>is \u201cumbrella\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n MATH-We will work with the\u00a0dime.<\/em> \u00a0We\u2019ll also play a coin exchange game.
