Classroom Books: Thanks to your book orders we added another 60 books to our classroom library (this is only part of the order). Whenever families order books through Scholastic, our class earns bonus points to use for FREE books.
Nonfiction Author's Celebration: If you were not able to attend, here are some photos from our celebration below. The kids hosted the celebration and were responsible for a part of the presentation. In addition, each child read one heading from their animal report. I was so proud of the work they all did!
Extra thank you for the treats provided for the celebration!

The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane: We finally finished my personal favorite read aloud! Here are some photos to show some of the thinking we did. All students worked in small groups throughout the book to jot down their Big Ideas, thoughts and questions about the story. At the end of the book, each small group rotated to 5 stations and write down their thoughts about the listed topic- Lessons, Questions, Character Traits, Character Feelings and Personal Thoughts . The examples below show the "Lessons" and "Questions" posters with student thinking.
Ask Your Child:
Who is Douglas Florian? (The visiting Author coming on 3/26- he's a poet)
Who is Mercy Watson? Tell me about her...
What is your NEW Book Series Club?
What is your next writing unit? (Poetry- there will be another Author's Celebration in May that families will be invited to attend)
