Who doesn't love a little reading time?

WORD STUDY
Students are really looking at SYLLABICATION!
Root/base words... short or long vowel sounds
suffix endings 

Writing Workshop
Students are learning to use graphic organizers to PLAN their writing for nonfiction. We will use these skills to plan our written responses for our MCAS tests as well. 

Nonfiction reading with partners!
Students read nonfiction books and noted what they ALREADY knew about topics and what they LEARNED.

FABLE FUN! 

Students are reading many different fables and discussing character traits, settings, and morals. 


Our essential questions are:
1. What are fables?
2. Why have some fables lasted for over 1,000 years?
3. What do the characters in fables help us learn about ourselves?

Students performed READERS' THEATER based on the fables they read!
