Reading Ineractive Notebook

We are moving right along.  The students are really enjoying Sideways Stories from Wayside School.  As we are reading we are visualizing and creating character traits for each character.  I thought I would post some pictures of our reading interactive notebook the students use to help them with these strategies.  Students are welcome to bring the notebook home each night but please make sure they return it the next day.

 

 

I can not begin to tell you how GREAT your kids are!  I am so excited about this school year, and it has been the smoothest start to the school year I have ever had.  Thank you for allowing me to teach your child!

 



Sideways Stories from Wayside School

Can you believe its the end of the first week of school?  Let's get started by meeting the crazy and hilarious characters from Wayside School.  As we read each chapter we will meet a new student.  As we read we will describe these characters with character traits and examples of each trait from the book.  Throughout some of the chapters we will visualize and create pictures in our mind of what is happening in each chapter.  Your child is welcome to take a book home each night to reread and review with you.:)  They can also bring home their reading journals to help review character traits and visualizing.:)

Summer Reading

Happy Reading!!!  I hope you all enjoyed reading Shiloh as much as I did.  It is a classic read and loved by many!  Hopefully one day for a treat we will get to watch the movie and compare it to the book.  You may begin taking an AR test anytime now for the grade book.
