Happy February! Hopefully everyone enjoyed their snow day at home yesterday.
Currently, we are reading our book club books in school and you should see those come home too. There were many choices to pick from and students chose their top 3 favorites to read. We have been working in class on stopping and jotting down our thoughts as we read. The message, "Reading is Thinking" has been focused on too. Today, we had a book club meeting for 5 minutes and then reflected afterwards on how we thought it went. Each class set expectations for these meetings and did a great job!
There are two assignments for students to complete for homework this week. One is the Digital Readworks article and the other is the Google Classroom log writing a paragraph. Next week, a book project will be assigned for the book club book.
Today, we also took the computerized SRI test to show our reading growth from the beginning of the year to now. This will be computed as a number and that information with results will go home soon.
In writing, we just finished our final version of the Changes During WW2 essay. The focus was on giving clear, specific evidence to support our thinking. Giving topic sentences that tell the reader what they will read about was another focus.
Reading Counts Goals are due by March 15.
