Our ELA time consists of reading, shared reading, writing, and
spelling. I meet with students in small groups every day. Also, students
are given time to read independently. It is important that they choose
a "just right" book; it is not too hard or too easy. We discussed that in
class. In addition, students will write in a reading response journal every
day. Students will write two paragraphs: one about the text, and one beyond
the text. Each student will be assigned a day to hand in the journal, and I
will write back.
