PERISCOPE Mania!

FOLLOW ME ON PERISCOPE!!

About two months ago my brother Ricardo introduced me to an APP called Periscope.  I though it was pretty interesting on how people can broadcast LIVE.  So I started following my favorite TV hosts and comedians.  Then I thought how cool it would be to just Periscope from educational conferences and the classroom. 

Soon, I WAS ADDICTED!  I LOVE TO USE PERISCOPE!  I get so many ideas from other classroom teachers.  I also enjoy sharing my own classroom strategies with all of you.  

Don't hesitate, get the APP, it's so much fun to use!

Don't forget to follow Sheila Jane and the 5 recommended teachers.

Have you noticed that some non-fiction books are way too difficult for our emergent readers?  Well,  I've made some non-fiction passages easy enough for our emergent readers to feel successful in reading.  Here you see my student reading a non-fiction passage during guided reading.  This passage has lots of high frequency words that she can easily identify and read.

After repeatedly reading the passage, my students will write facts about the topic.  They write the non-fiction facts to build automaticity not only in reading but in writing as well.  

My students then get their own mini book to practice independently at their desk, Daily 5 routines or for homework.  Before they start reading the book, they highlight the high frequency words first.
