Week #5: Notice & Note and Plot Charts!

I really enjoyed this week. We wrapped up Notice and Note, which is an effective way to close-read. We also made team flags (see picture below) and just had an enjoyable week! I've noticed how kind students are to each other. They are eager to learn, help and participate. It's been such an enjoyable week! Thanks for the continued support.

Book Orders are here! Scholastic is a cheap way to build your home library. You can order online here: Scholastic Book Orders which allows you access to all their books. Additionally, you can send in a check to Scholastic or cash and I'll order for you.

This upcoming week will be fun. We'll review and assess understanding of Notice and Note with enrichment/reteach on Wednesday. Next will be moving in to plot chart to review and demonstrate understanding. Looking forward to seeing students continuing to grow! Please let me know if you have questions and have a great week!
