READING
Thank you for helping your child
complete the beautiful dioramas and posters for our Animal Project. They will be on display at Open House.
Book Clubs
We have been
learning about Book Clubs. Book Clubs are groups
of students reading the same book and meeting together to discuss what they
have read. The purpose of Book Club is to allow students to discuss,
respond to, and think about real literature. We have been learning about
what makes a successful Book Club and polite conversation starters. The
children have also been introduced to 5 roles that will guide their
discussions. These roles are: Qualified Questioner, Character Captain, Word
Watcher, Passage Picker, and Valuable Visualizer. These roles help
students think about and focus on critical literary elements and reading
strategies. During Book Club, each member of the group will be
responsible for a different role. They will be provided time to read an
assigned reading and complete their role sheet prior to meeting as a Book Club.
Book Clubs allow students to practice authentic reading behaviors while
actively participating in sharing their ideas and building meaning from
what they have read.
MATH
Next
week we will be working on 3 Dimensional and Plane shapes.
