Reading Response Journals

With one of our Literary Centers (see below) the kids have to read independently and then fill out an entry in their Reader's Journal.  This is an example of the sentence starters they have to choose from when filling out journal entries.

Literary Centers

I am trying something new this year with Literary Centers.  During guided reading time, students are given a task to work on (usually something that connects to our skill for the work, spelling words, or vocabulary words).  When students finish the task, they may choose from one of our Literary Centers.  These are mostly activities that can be completed on their own or with a friend.  The kids love it!
