We have moved on to writing narratives! This week, kids have created their own characters to star in their own stories. They also had a chance to write these stories. Next week, we will look at specific parts of stories and continue to develop our craft when practicing writing these.
Report Cards go home tomorrow so be on the lookout for these! Reading Counts reports for the second quarter will be going home in these too. Also, reading summative grades and grades for the American Symbol articles will go home tomorrow. Ask your child to see it.
As far as reading counts goes, everyone met their goals!! Students will be creating their own goals for second quarter. Look for these soon....
We made a cool Capture the Flag project. Check it out here: Capture The Flag
Fictional reading continues to start this quarter. This week, the kids read about legendary characters and what made them a legend. Tomorrow, they will be writing to compare and contrast those characters. I was out sick, but they seemed to enjoy them with the substitute teacher.
Today, we discussed the difference between fables and legends. Kids were able to choose to act out one of these. One is The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and the other is The Lion and the Mouse. Look for videos of those too-we present soon...
Remember that this quarter, kids have the option of completing reading logs online as long as I get a note or email from you. Thanks!
