Reading Update 9/29/14

Last week, we started our first week of nonfiction.  Our focus was on animals and all small groups read books about animals.  The books covered endangered species, marine life, animal adaptations, and gray whales.  Please ask your child what book he/she read.  

The skill we focused on last week while reading nonfiction was main idea and detail.  We did a mini-project which we will share tomorrow about it.  Look for pictures!

We will continue nonfiction this week with two weeks on Native Americans.  We will be reading about different tribes and comparing/contrasting them.  It should be interesting!

*Reading Counts Goals due by October 22. A report will be given to students tomorrow so they can see their progress so far.  Each child's reading counts goal should be attached in their planners.

*Reading logs are due each Monday.  Please make sure that you sign them each week.  Thanks!
