5 components of learning

In our second grade classrooms, at Columbia, we are focusing on the 5 components of reading.  We have leveled guided reading groups set up that we meet with Tuesday - Friday.  While the teacher is meeting with small groups and doing reading instruction, the rest of the class is working on stations.  Students rotate through 4 stations each day, consisting of: phonics, vocabulary, comprehension and fluency.  With every second grader having an Ipad this year, we have worked the Ipads into many of our stations.  Below are each of the stations and a few apps that we use in those stations throughout the week.
