September 29, 2013

It's hard to believe we will enter October this week! We have a busy week ahead. Students will get their first Starlab experience and I'm sure they will have lots to share. Have a great week!

This week....

Reading
Students will continue the Readerly  Life unit-getting to know themselves as readers. We are still working on finding "just right" books. Students have been using post its while reading silently and used these post its to help write a weekly reading reflection. We will do this each week. We will finish our first read aloud and will start our second. We started with realistic fiction and our next book will be fantasy. September reading calendars are due on Tuesday, October 1st. Students will get the October reading calendar and should continue the process.
