In Room 2 we are learning to Self Manage our learning. Part of this is completing our Daily 5 for Literacy.
Make sure you fill in your accountability sheet each day and get a buddy to check you off. Remember to have a person check you off you need to have worked with them or shared your work with them and you need to check off with a different buddy for each task.

Reading to Self
This could be Drop Everything and Read (D.E.A.R.), Read Theory, Epic Books, Kea Kids News or Kiwi Kids News. You could read the newspaper or a book from the library corner. Sometimes Mrs Corcoran will set you a text to read before coming to work with her and this will be part of Reading to Self. These texts may be given to you or may be in the Things from Mrs Corcoran folder in your Drive. You could read some of the PM Books here (you will need to log in using the log in information that has been emailed to you).
Here is a new site for Reading to Self called Readworks. Click here, enter the class code ES7MWB and your usual password. Find your name and you are good to go!
