Where has fall gone? This school year is already flying by, and so far it has been great. In reading, students have been doing a fantastic job, and we have read some really good books! Currently, fifth graders are working on Close Reading strategies, along with predicting and making context clues (very important skills to have as a reader). We are also reading a fantastic book called Wonder. This also happens to be a Battle of the Books book for fifth grade.
In my class students have started working on Blogs of their own. We will use these in a variety of ways throughout the year, but we will start by using them to correspond with another class through something called The Global Read Aloud! This is program where two classrooms from different parts of the world read the same book, and then discuss it through a variety of technology. In the past we have primarily used Blogs and Skype. We will most likely use these again this year. I hope everybody has a great rest of the week, and remember to keep READING! ;o)
