December 8- December 14

We are in the last two weeks of school for 2015, and I am getting rather excited for the end of our book club and beginning of our community projects!

The final exam for our book club book will be December 18. Please make sure you are reading at home for 20-30 minutes in addition to the reading we are doing in class. Most children, especially those who have acquired the book two weeks ago per my email, are almost done reading.

Tuesday: Reader's Workshop. Students read book club book and prepare a written interview with the main character about the important episodes in the book thus far. Interviews should be two to three pages long and address setting, plot, and major characters. Interviews must be written in the voice of the main character. Students will also be working on daily oral language and Iready.

Wednesday: Reader's Workshop. Students read book club book and prepare a written interview with the main character about the important episodes in the book thus far.
