I don't know where the summer went but the count down is on ... I go back to work in less than 3 weeks. As this reality began to sink in, I realized I had not finished as many projects as I hoped. One thing I have enjoyed this summer is seeing movies ... Despicable Me 2 is one of my favorites this summer. As I was watching this movie one clip in particular stood out to me ... Agnes practicing lines for school. One personal goal I have this year is to do a better job of teaching fluency as well as change how I teach it. I went to Youtube and searched for this particular clip from the movie. I cannot wait to show my students what I mean by ... reading like a robot!
Future projects ... using QR codes for my library and a fluency center with mini reader's theaters, poems, and more!
I am curious how people hold students accountable for comprehension during silent reading time, I am looking into using QR codes to facilitate before, during, and after questions in books, hoping the students ponder them while reading. (The problem is that I only have 2 iPads.)
