This week in Literacy:
O️NE MORE DAY!! Reading passport- Students have until Friday, March 27th (day before spring break) to “Read Across America”. Each 20 minutes of reading equals a new state stamped by me in class on their passport. If they reach the goal of 1000 minutes by the deadline, they will be invited to an afterschool Luau to celebrate their reading stamina! All YOU have to do parents is acknowledge the reading titles and minutes each night at the bottom of agendas. Students are of course encouraged to read over weekends too:) This is meant to be FUN; please be sure your child isn’t stressing and staying up until midnight reading! Thank you for supporting your child as we push them to be voracious readers with improved reading stamina! Date for the celebration is TBD but will be in early April and dependent on participant schedules.
In Module 3 we will focus on reading classic chapter books. As a class will will dive deep into Peter Pan by JM Barrie and use this text to explore text dependent questions, character traits, point of view, theme, and more! Please check for any classics you can get your hands on to share at home. A list of some great classics can be found here.
