Our Reading C.A.F.E. board is continuously being worked on and referred to. What does C.A.F.E. stand for? Comprehension, Accuracy, Fluency, and Expanding Vocabulary. Under each heading are strategies that great readers use to make meaning of what they read.
Great discussions and text analysis happen in our Book Club nook. Here we learn to apply the skills and strategies we know from our C.A.F.E. board through discussions. It's a fun place to hang out!
Our Math Workshop area is full of games, cards, dice, flashcards, and lots of other tools to practice math facts during Workshop.
I wanted to make our classroom very interactive this year. Here is a photo of our Classroom Graffiti board. I put a prompt on the board and the students respond to the prompt. It's a fun place to see what's going on inside the kids' minds!
