Last year was my first year in 3rd grade after teaching 2nd grade for awhile. I have also taught first and fourth. While I teach at an intermediate school of Grade 3-6, I think we forget way back in the day, didn't we consider 3rd grade primary? They definitely do come in more primary and we third grade teachers turn them into intermediate students. I used post it notes almost exclusively in second grade and moved some of my readers into a notebook by the end of second grade. While I do have a marble notebook we use for our reader's notebook in third grade, we will start out using post it notes ( the bigger ones that are 4 by 4 inches) for a while. And of course lots of scaffolding and modeling when beginning with the notebook. And definitely we need to remember to talk about our reading first. In second grade I had reading partners which gave students the opportunities to talk about their reading first. I often partnered my third graders last year, but I'm thinking about creating more formal reading or thinking partners this year.In second grade I had built in partner reading time. I'm thinking about adding partner talk maybe 2 times a week. I really think the talk leads to better reading responses/ writing about reading.<br />Thanks,<br />DebbieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06065788011011301246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-53260181935692585532015-09-01T14:43:56.130-04:002015-09-01T14:43:56.130-04:00When I transferred to my students using memo-sized...When I transferred to my students using memo-sized reading logs, they were more eager to sketch and write about their thinking and share with their peers.

I hadn't started with Reader's Notebooks yet because it was too much for them. I can't thank you enough!!Sincerely, Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10038671642078343466noreply@blogger.com
