Camp Wanna Read!
Each day after lunch we have "Camp Wanna Read" (silent reading time). It lasts 25 minutes. We each pick a book to read that is on our independent reading level. We take the book to a quiet spot to read. Silent reading helps us practice reading without moving our lips. It helps us to read faster in our minds. This also helps us with comprehension. You will find us reading everywhere! This also gives us a little "down time" so we can gear up for our math lesson. During our "camp time" Mrs. J listens to several of us read orally. As she listens, she writes notes in her
MIRP (
Monitored Independent Reading Practice)
Log. The notes help her to track our reading progress: fluency, pace, phrasing, intonation, comprehension, phonics, etc. She uses the notes to assist in our daily instruction. We all want to read to her! It is fun!!! 
It is very relaxing & we can travel many places just by read a book!
Buddy is our classroom bear. He was given to Mrs. J as a Valentine present in 1993 by a very special student Ryan Humphrey. He started going home on weekends with her student's & began traveling the world. He has been to many exciting homes & places. He has met every child that Mrs. Jones has ever taught. He has been to birthday parties, class trips, trips to different states & countries, sat on the Great Wall of China, & met Micky Mouse! He is currently 15 years old. We will be documenting his trips below.
