Once we learned the meaning of the word "strategy", our crew learned all the strategies readers use when they come to an unknown word. The students applied these strategies during independent reading and set a goal for themselves as readers. This goal will be shared during Student Led Family Conferences in November. A green "word strategies" list was sent home in Thursday folders this week for our readers to use at home.
We have also learned strategies that we can use to solve problems independently. Solving problems independently takes courage and respect! Our Crew is working on using the strategy "CFRR" when they want to communicate with a friend. Each child was sent home with the problem-solving strategies today. It is their responsibility to share these strategies with their family.
