April 8 - 12

Welcome back! I hope that you all had an amazing Spring Break!
 
For reading, we are going to start a new unit on the Battle of the Books.  Students will read picture books, short stories, and Chapter books.  After reading each piece of literature, students will write 2 questions.  They two types of questions are inferential questions and evaluative questions using a Microsoft form on the computer.   I will then compile all the questions, and then on Friday we will have a Battle of the Books to see who can answer the most questions correctly and also who has read the most books. 
 
For writing, students will choose a person to research from a given list, and they are using a graphic organizer will conduct the research.  After the research is completed, the students will create a Bobble head of their chose person and then take all of their research to write an Autobiography essay.
