Routines and Procedures

 Room 5 has settled back into school and we've been working hard to review our daily routines and procedures. 

"How To"

This was a great springboard to our next unit of writing: Procedural/Instruct

Procedural writing tells the reader how to make something, do something, complete a process, or accomplish any task that requires several steps. Students are most likely to encounter procedural text in the form of directions on schoolwork, playing a game, or even completing a simple task such as washing their hands.

Our first two writing assignments have been:

A Procedural Poster: listing out steps of a daily routine in our classroom.  

Storyboards: shows steps in a sequence to organize them visually for the reader. 

 Here are some examples of our storyboards for 

How to make a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich and How to Wash Your Hands

 

Starting next week, we will start one of our student favorites: Mystery Readers!

 Thank you to those parents who have volunteered to come in and share their love of learning. Clue Sheets were sent home and will need to be returned before your scheduled day.  On the day of the read aloud, parents will check into the office upon arrival. The office will send you down to wait outside our room. You may stand or sit in the Pod as I share the clues provided with the class. The class loves to take a guess and see if their predictions were correct upon the reveal! 

If you'd like to volunteer please let me know as soon as possible, as slots are filling up quickly! Please let me know if there is not a day nor time which you are available. Feel free to email/call me to schedule a time.
