A Magical Start to 5th Grade Literature!

Funded Jul 22, 2021

Thanks to your donations we have started our Harry Potter unit. Through it we have learned the importance of point of view and how it affects the story. We have also learned how to use evidence from the book to support our answers. For our next lesson we will learn character analysis by creating chocolate frog cards of different characters that we have read about.

Due to distance learning we have a large gap in reading abilities; because of this we read the book together. This has allowed all students to comprehend and enjoy the story. I have also posted the read aloud version on Google Classroom so they can enjoy the book at home as well.

The entire class is very engaged in the book. We have made this a classwide theme. The students are separated into the four Harry Potter houses where they can win points for their house. The students are thoroughly enjoying these fun interactive lessons!”

With gratitude,
