The days we are not going to be attending school students will be expected to read every day and to complete a journal entry after reading. Students have been explained that they will respond to a total of 12 entries between Sept. 4 and Sept. 17th (one a day). They should choose the 12 entries from the 3 lists given to them the first weeks of school. The lists are found in their journal noteboks. Posted on this blog are two of the lists too! Just scroll down and you will find them. Please follow the Journal Entry Rubric to make certain students do a good job when completing them. All entries should have the four parts: date, title of the book, question and response. The entries should be written with at least 4 meaningful sentences, should be descriptive, and presented in a neat way.
Additional Reading: This last week of school, students read two tales in class: "Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters", and "The Three Litle Pigs and the Fox" . They shoul reread both stories at home (they are found in the Reading Textbook) to practice the reading strategies taught in class. Students took their Reading Textbooks home. A Reading Test about these two stories will be given to students the day they come back (Sept. 17th).
Students should also finish reading the book for the book report over these days. When they finish a book they should begin a new one.
Please use this time to read as much as possible. It is important that students continue reinforcing their reading and writing skills (through their journals).
