ELA Rotations

We've had such a great time getting back into the swing of school after our Thanksgiving Break.  If you come to our classroom Monday-Thursday mornings the hour before lunch you will see our "ELA Rotations."  There are eight rotations in the classroom: Computer, Writing Table, Listen to Reading, "Barnes and Noble" or our reading area, Word Works, Poetry, and 2 that I change each week to go along with our curriculum.  Each student rotates 4 times each day, going to 2 of the eight rotations each day for four.  The other 2 rotations are Guided Reading/ Small Group work and Desk Work.  So one child's rotations may look like this... Computer, Guided Reading, Word Works, Desk Work.  This past week our "Desk Work" activity was "Read to Someone," one of the student's favorites!!  Here are some fun pictures from this busy time in our room.
