Ice Cream and Fluency

My upper level first grade readers have been working on this fluency packet during our intervention

time for the last 9 weeks.  Most of my students have improved their fluency by at least 10 wcpm, and even as much a 30 wcpm.  Each passage is paired with comprehension questions and often times a writing project.  If there wasn't one included, I would do writing workshop with the students after we did our daily fluency practice.  This week we've been reading the passage Ice Cream.  The we wrote about a time we ate ice cream.  The students really enjoy the themes.   Here's a link to Courtney Keimer's Unit on TpT.  Below is a photo of our ice cream stories.

Wings

 Today my Reading Roots Readers earned their Wings.  We had a mini-ceremony in which each student was given a certificate and a pair of wings.  Then we had a Butterfly snack and drink to celebrate their success!   I'm so proud of them!  Several of my students have shown 6-8 stages of growth in 3 quarters.  Did I mention how proud I am of them?!
