What We Are Learning

Reading

Writing

Students are expected to read for 30 minutes at home, every night. 
We are working on characterization of characters - focusing on character actions, thoughts, feelings, and character traits. We are focusing on taking notes and summarizing what we read. 

We are using the skills we're learning in Reading to write summaries of the independent books we're reading!
Upcoming - we will be writing narratives!
