Language Arts: Practice reading Hickory, Dickory, Dock with varied speed and pacing. Tonight, I will send home this poem to work on fluency/pacing with your child. Please point to the words as you read it with your child. This will reinforce what we worked on today. Ideas to remember:
~We read different kinds of texts at different speeds.
~We read easy parts faster and hard parts slower.
~We match our pacing to what the author is saying.
~Reading too fast makes the reading hard to understand.
~Reading too slowly does not sound natural.
~No matter what speed we use to read, we pay attention to punctuation.

DAILY 5: When practicing stamina, the children are working on:
~Staying in one spot.
~Get started right away.
~Eyes on book.
~Read the whole time.
~Quiet.
~Away from friends.
***They made it 5 minutes yesterday! They are building their muscle memory to make useful time of their reading stamina.
