First grade students are learning procedural writing this week! Hook, topic, clear steps with transition words, AND a conclusion sentence! Their capacity to learn is there- we have to keep pouring.
Learning Stations for engagement before Spring Break: UFLI fluency practice with inflectional ending -ing, dictionary practice with ABC order, STEM with Legos, and Science insect puzzles cut-and-paste. Iβm changing it up before we go on break to keep them alert and engaged! ππ»βοΈ
Phoneme manipulation for word building with tiles: Each student has an identical version of this board, a UFLI resource, to segment sounds in words to manipulate and build, spell, and read words. This is a Day 2 activity in every UFLI lesson deck.
#ReadAcrossAmericaWeek Thank you to our special reader from the English Department, who read βI am Enough,β to my first grade class. Itβs a beautiful story with a message we all need to hear and absorb. π

Small-group explicit phonics instruction is systematic and allows me to closely monitor student progress, provide immediate feedback, and target individual needs. We want the most effective way to engage the reading brain! π§

I enjoyed explaining the importance of evidence-based instruction with the goal of every student learning to read!
