Book Clubs

Today in reading, we started book clubs!  We discussed book series and students picked what series of book they wanted to read.  Then we all discussed the characters in our books and how they were similar in every book.  It was fun to take on the responsibility of book clubs.

Acting out character's strong feelings

In our reading lesson today we practiced acting out how the characters in our books were feeling.  Every student shared their acting with their reading partners and some students were brave enough to act out their character's feeling for the whole class to see.

Leaders

Take a look at these leaders from Monday and Tuesday!  Way to go!!  Thanks for working hard and doing the right thing.

Characters have strong feelings

In Reading today we discussed how characters have strong feelings in books.  We brainstormed some examples of strong feelings.  Then we went into our own books and looked for places that the characters in our books were experiencing a strong feeling.  After we found the examples in our books, we shared our ideas with our reading partners.
