Literature Circles and Class Pet

Field trip tomorrow! We will be leaving about 9:40/9:45am!

Math - exit slips are due tomorrow! 

Social research, if not completed today, needs to be ready to go for Monday so that we can start on our project. Please discuss this with your group members.

Tree Study is due next THURSDAY, December 7th.
Our next Literature Circle meeting will take place on Wednesday, December 6th.

TODAY WE VOTED ON OUR CLASS PET, AND WE HAVE UNANIMOUSLY CHOSEN 2 GERBILS!! Stay tuned for more details. 

The last few weeks in class, we have been working on a novel study. We are reading the book "Fatty Legs" by Margaret Pokiak. Each week we read a chapter from the book. Students then complete their job for the week (it is different each time). Jobs include items like discussion director, investigator, illustrator, and so on. Before we read the next chapter, the literature circle groups meet and present their jobs. They then self-evaluate themselves using a rubric based on how well they did their job, and how they participated in the literature circle. We read a new chapter, and start again!

Here is a look at our literature circle meetings this week:
