E.L.A.

In class this month, students have been enjoying novel studies that they have chosen themselves. We are reading Bridge to Teribithia and Maniac Magee. We are also learning about making inferences while we read texts - we are detectives looking for clues to pieces together information that writer's do not actually tell us in stories. We are also learning about writing using topic sentences (main idea) and details (who, what, where, when, why).

Some students were chosen to participate in a class reading log incentive. So far, the students have read 70 short books/chapters. We are keeping track of our progress in the classroom and are working towards fun class activities as rewards!
