Literacy

We started Book Clubs again. We are working on synthesizing non-fiction and fiction texts. Students are working on a project where they are reading a non-fiction and fiction book about the same topic. We are learning so much and having great discussions about our schema and connections. Keep it up kids!

In writing we are working on organization. We created secret shortcuts and are working with a partner to write a story. We can't wait to share our creative ideas (and trust me, some of them are more than a little creative).

We are plugging along in spelling. I am impressed with how familiar students are becoming with our vocabulary words. We sound so smart!
