Blue - We started a little late because I wanted to share a Clifford story with the whole class before we began. - I wanted to roll over but most of the kids had to leave with the reading specialist at 10a.m. so that didn't go so well. - However, the follow up activities were simple enough to catch up with once they got back.

Orange - I assigned for them to read up to page 45 before coming to me. - Two students in this group had to work on their animal projects so they didn't get to the reading. I think my other students couldn't finish because some students had to share books and this held them back a bit. - So I decided to read the book to the kids myself. I didn't get to finish reading the whole book (since it's a chapter book) but I read a good chunk of it. I had students read the rest back at their seats before they completed their follow up activity. It all worked out because I only assigned one follow up activity which didn't take very long to do.

Lions - Since the book we were using was slightly challenging for the kids in this group, I decided to read the book to the kids. - They were active listeners and participated in discussions throughout the read aloud. - I modified the written comprehension questions to multiple choice questions. I read the questions to the students and they circled the correct answer.
