Update 11-9

We still are working on writing stories to create a class book.  Students will also have to draw a one-page illustration to go with the stories for the books. This week, students are typing their stories and working on structuring them to look like a real story. We will also talk about using past tense and keeping the point of view as 1st or 3rd person.  Students had to write one focused question about their writing piece that they wanted my suggestions for.   Each child has or will meet with me to conference about it.   

We are finishing up fiction this week.  The reading summative is Wednesday and the writing summative piece is Thursday.   The writing  piece is comparing and contrasting the lessons learned by the main characters. We are also practicing plays that we will perform at the end of the week.  Tomorrow was going to be the day, but it has to be changed since many kids are going to Kalahari.


I found a link with the top 100 books kids should read and found in interesting.  Check that out here.


Book Fair Buying Day is this Wednesday during the school day.  Also, the family night for book fair is Wednesday too, look for a flier to tell you the time.
