Hi Chuck, That is an awesome idea thank you :)
I would put
Guided Reading and then add any activities the students
completed for the "book of the week"
Predicting,
Connecting,
vocabulary words,
details,
sequence,
On the Working with words (Word wall section) I would put
words of the week students write the words and activities
done with each of them daily,
SSR is pretty simple have them write simple sentence about
the book you read or the one they read,
Writing, use the word wall words and have them do a writing
activity for the week, (remember writing does not have to be
actual writing) Write a sentence using most of the words
students copy sentence, and or write one of their own.
Journals, you write or draw in yours showing caps,
punctuation, then they write/draw in theirs in that section.
this would also be great for showing parents, administrators
what the students have been doing. You could also put each
days activities in on Monday and they would be there for the
next day.

hope that helped some :)
