ELA Stations

I teach whole group reading for the first 30 minutes of class.  Afterwards, we begin small group stations where students practice skills for the week.  

Station 1 is Technology.  We use ClassWorks, BrainPop, and many more educational websites to practice our reading skill for the week.

Station 2 is ELA.  We practice our spelling and vocabulary skills for the week.  Also, we use SpellingCity.com to build our phonics skills.

Station 3 is A.R.  Students read their Accelerated Reader books during this time either independently or with a buddy.  We keep a list of who has read the most words for third grade...it really keeps them motivated!

Station 4 is Teacher Station. At teacher station, I introduce and review our reading and vocabulary skill for the week.  We also use this time to practice finding text evidence.
