In Reading Workshop we are focusing on strategies that we can use when we come to a tricky word. We often use more than one strategy at once.
We have a new routine in our classroom called "Sentence Editing" I post a sentence with errors, the number at the end of the sentence tells how many errors there are. Children copy them into their notebooks fixing all the errors that they find. Then we go over it together and they use editing marks to correct anything they missed.
Example:
1. me and kate went to the beach
2. them boys was in chicago last week

Mathematicians work together to correct each others' work.
Sometimes we work all together at the meeting area on our work!
