Get Ready for Bloggy Olympics!!!

Join The 3AM Teacher, the Reading Olympians, and over 80 SUPREME education bloggers as we take you through a tour of the Reading Olympians Root Study Program!!


Teacher friends, I was so excited to test out some of the Reading Olympians’ program with my third graders! I know my students have a hard time using context clues to understand words {even though they can word call beautifully, ha!}. Working with prefixes and suffixes helps some, but I really felt like I could make a difference if I could get to the root of their word work. I hoped that would help them make connections to new words. I may have been successful at Latin in high school, but it was going to take a lot of research on my part to find the right tools for my third graders. 

I tested the Nike set out with my class before spring break. Unfortunately, we lost time due to snow and I was out sick two days due to my complete lack of immune system an ugly bug. I’m not a huge rule follower, but the kit lays out a basic guide for how to work with each set. Copies are kind of a big deal, so I reduced the amount of paper by printing only what I absolutely needed. Here’s how it looked in our room.

Day One: pump students up about roots. I chose to use the Nike Raps for this. We beat boxed and chanted the rhymes. Honestly? It was fun! Then we cut the raps out and added them to little dog tags. I‘m thinking each set would go on a its own chain and then we could keep all of them together on a necklace. Easy peasy.

Day Two: Words, Words, Words that fit with the set. I used the graphic organizers. {To save copies, I’m thinking I’d shrink it down and put two on each page next time.} We brain stormed together and completed one organizer on the document camera. Then I let students start creating their own organizers. We used dictionaries to look for more words that fit in each group.

{This is where my plans fell apart because I didn’t get to do Days 3-5.}

 
Day Three: More organizers (there are 10 total roots to map). When they’re finished, we’ll staple them into mini books for future reference.  

Day Four: Memory match in the word work center. I typed up the roots and meanings onto game cards and was hoping to have students play a matching game with them. We do this with our reading vocabulary words often and the students love it!

Day Five: Quiz day. I was going to assess the week’s roots and see how many students had mastered Nike.

So… overall, I think it went really well! I’m eager to see how well the word work will transfer over into reading workshop and my students’ independent reading once we finish it.

2020 Wins // Charlotte and I joked in my stories a 2020 Wins // Charlotte and I joked in my stories about 2020 being stinky, but it wasn't all garbage.⁠ ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
We had more time together as a family. With Ryan in his final year of training, we've become pretty used to his long hours over the last ten years. When elective surgeries were put on hold, we had more days with Ryan home.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I finally received a diagnosis for all the weird postpartum complications that never went away. Having an 'invisible' illness is no fun, but I am thankful it has a name now so I can appropriately kick its butt in 2021.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
After a pivot in 2019, my small business survived 2020! PINCH ME because it feels awesome to help female entrepreneurs create beautiful, affordable websites that help them monetize, grow, and make a difference.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Carter was able to complete the entire first semester with in person learning at pre-k! He loves it and I'm so thankful his tiny school has found a way to make it work.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
There are so many more. I recognize how horrible 2020 was for many, many people. I in no way want to minimize that. Finding the positives helps me keep it all perspective. We have our health, our home, and each other so for that I will be thankful. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Looking forward to many celebrations in 2021. We're all due!⁠⠀
