April 15-19

On Monday, we will finish taking the reading MAP assessment for the student who haven't complete the test yet. 
 
Reading:
This week we will focus on short stories.  The students will pick from several short stories to read and then write two questions for each story for our Battle of the Books competition.  Last week the students did such an incredible job reading the pictures books.  We are competition with Mrs. Lounsbury's class of who can read the most books.  The kids are having a great time!  I will keep you posted on the total number of books that the students have read. 
 
Writing:
The students picked a person to research, and they are in the process of completing their graphic organizer for their selected person.  After the research is complete, the students will write a rough draft sharing their knowledge of their biography person.
