1st day of guided reading.
I have started a book called "Teach Us, Amelia Bedelia!" with a high level reading group in my Mom's classroom. This book has a lot of homophones in it, I taught them about homophones and what they are. After we read together I told them to respond about what we had read. I think that they are amazing kids and they're all very powerful readers.
2nd day of guided reading
I went over to meet with that group again and we were getting ready to go into the hallway when all of a sudden one of the kids threw up right in front of me onto the floor. By the way, did you know I have a phobia of vomit!
When we finally got to work we started to talk about what we had read last and then we started reading the next section I had marked off in the book. This time we were focusing on idioms. I told them some examples to write in their readers notebook, then after they wrote an example on their own.
3rd day of guided reading
We finished reading the book, so it was time for the final activity! The kids really enjoyed doing this part, they got to make a poster which was like a big response that included a picture and there opinion. I recommend this to everyone who wants to be a teacher some day. They got to present this poster to the class!
Vocabulary-
Idioms- a phrase that has a different meaning than the literal meaning.
Homophones- two words that are spelled differently but sound the same and have a different meaning.
