This week we are trying something new with our classroom and Mrs. DePlaunty's (second grade) classroom. We have seven separate non-fiction reading bins in our classroom, with four students assigned to one bin. Each day they get choose a text from their selected bin which includes a large variety of books on a given topic. In addition, students also choose a graphic organizer to write an assigned response. Each day they will rotate bins so they have a different topic to read about.
Today was our first day and all students were engaged and on task!
Next Thursday, Mrs. DePlaunty and I will switch bins, which will introduce seven new topics to the students. This will continue until the end of the school year.
