Choice is good!

Students love having opportunities to choose how they learn, and I try to incorporate choice in learning as much as possible throughout the day. One of those times is our literacy station time, which happens at the end of Reading Workshop. I've written about these stations before, but the activities change weekly. Here are a few of the literacy station activities happening this week...

These students practiced long vowel sounds with a board game.
Students can choose Thanksgiving-related songs and poems for their Poetry & Song notebooks. These poems usually connect to the word study (SWR) skills we are working on in the classroom and often require some artwork too!
With Thanksgiving so close, students can make a "Shape Turkey" at the Art Station this week! They have to read the posted directions to learn how to make it.
Each student has the option of using the computers for literacy activities on his/her sharing day. Since it's a popular station, I had to figure out a way to make sure everyone gets a fair chance to visit.
