Buddies!

5-306 enjoyed a nice visit with their first grade buddies. First, the first graders shared their amazing persuasive books with the 5th graders. Then, the buddies wrote Thank You notes to the PTA, thanking them for all that they do for our school.

Although we were a bit chilly, 5-306 had a great visit to Green-Wood Cemetery. As always, our guide, Steve, kept us engaged with all of his knowledge and captivating stories.

Reading Entries

~ Reading entries are assigned 1-2 days per week.

~ Students should be writing their entries 15-20 minutes, and they should reflect the work we're doing in class (developing theories, setting significance, character influence, theme, etc).

~ Entries should be written about the current book the student is reading.

~ Students have been collecting entry samples to refer to for support.

~ If an entry is not completed, it should be made up before the next reading entry is due.

~Entries are checked for completion each week. Class notebooks are collected for close readings and feedback about every four weeks. Students are expected to read the feedback and apply any recommendations to their future entries.
