First graders can be independent learners, too! Through the course of the year, my little ones will work up to having an hour of independent literacy station time. In order for this time to be meaningful and effective, we will need new materials to keep us interested.
During our independent time, a group of 4-5 students will be working with me, while their classmates are choosing materials and activities they feel they need more practice with. I have requested phonics and sight word activities that include various skills that are taught throughout the year, so their choices can be refreshed every trimester and match current learning expectations.
