Reading

The last couple of weeks we have been back to guided reading groups in class. We've made some new groups with different teachers leading, so ask your child who his/her reading teacher is right now. If your child is a Moodle student ask them which books they have been writing about as they prepare for the upcoming Book Bowl on March 17th. 

During reading we also have shared reading experiences. We have been working on the CCSS 5.7 and 5.8. 

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.5.7

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.5.8
