My Project

My students are excited to read! They read at all different levels. These books will give them a chance to explore different topics. Literature circles let them be in charge of their reading.

They will be reading in small groups.

Then, they will complete a role, and write about the chapter. The roles are fun and have them reflect on what they have read. The roles include: Wacky Word Finder, Discussion Director, and Artful Artist. Finally, they meet and share what they have read, written, and created. They are excited!
