I-Can Checklists

In our Literacy Centers, we co-created I-Can checklists and have added them to our literacy centers. Together with the students, we created a checklist at a few of our centers. These checklists help us to keep track of what we need to do while working in the center.
We created one for the Read to Someone center. Our checklist reminds students how to find a just right book, and how to use our reading strategies while reading with a partner!
At our Writing Center, students are working on descriptive Christmas tree writing. They were using the checklist on their own last week so we decided to create mini checklists to refer to. Now students are using the checklists while at the center! Students are saying that the checklists help them to know what to do next. It is also helping students to recall what they can do in their groups while working on the acitivities. Way to go grade 2! Ask your child about our 2 I-Can Checklists...the descriptive writing checklist and the read to someone checklist.
