September 26

We will be starting our book clubs this week! Students will join me in small groups working on reading just right books and discussing characters, plot, settings etc.  This week the students will be introduced to their clubs and they will work together to establish group norms and to set group reading goals.

Each student will be bringing home a word list with them.  Their word lists are the skills and patterns that they are working on in class.  I encourage you to ask your student about the patterns they see, to use the words in conversations, and search for them in books you are reading at home.
