Reading
- We will be starting a new unit in Reader's Workshop this week: Readers Get to Know Characters By Performing Their Books!
- In class, we will be practicing some readers theater activities in groups. The students will have a 'part' in each book. They will read, practice, and perform their readers theater project.
- This unit is a great way for the students to really get to know different characters and actually act out what is happening to the character in a story.
Writing
- We will finish writing imaginative stories in writer's workshop! Students will publish their writing throughout the week.
- On Thursday, May 16th, we will celebrate the completion of our fairy tale writing unit. For the celebration, we would like to ask if you could please send in a beach towel (labeled with their name) and/or sunglasses ON Thursday. A note with more information about the celebration will be sent home with your child.
