Repeated readings this month to improve our fluency! We read to our buddy, listen to our buddy read and whole class. “Put your finger on the first word. Ready, begin.” - using the language from Acadience so everyone understands the task #ocsbLiteracy

We are getting so good at finding the subject and action in our Flyleaf Publishing cut-up sentences. We wrote them on whiteboards before we did them as a class. The capital and period give us starting clues. #ocsbLiteracy

We are reading “I can Mix Colors” and had questions about why we spell colour with a “u” but not in our American Flyleaf Publishing book. “An Inconvenient Alphabet” explains how Noah Webster tried to change the alphabet and created the first dictionary #ocsbLiteracy

My favourite thing about grade 1 is looking back and celebrating how far a student has come. Look at how much this “Friday Letter” improved in 6 months! #ocsbLiteracy

Scarborough’s Reading Rope is a model that illustrates just how complex the reading process is. It is imperative for teachers to know and understand how to effectively teach each of the strands and understand that the implementation of one program is not suffice for most students

Yesterday, we launched the program Science of Writing Instruction as a school. We had educators who were interested work through modules together. Today, teachers shared their different ideas for implementing TIDE! #ocsbLiteracy Robyn Matheson Mrs. Riley St. Gianna OCSB

Our soft launch of Science of Writing Instruction is in full swing! Today we used the TIDE rocket to highlight our work after looking at examples together. We wrote our GIST topic sentence together and brainstormed example ending sentences #ocsbLiteracy St. Gianna OCSB

Our cut-up sentences were a real challenge this week. We tried them on our own and used the book to check our work #ocsbLiteracy #ocsbCollaboration Flyleaf Publishing
