"It's Monday…What Are You Reading?"

This week, we are studying how different authors of similar texts portray their message about a similar character.  We will read and compare and contrast the poem "Watchman" to the books Scarecrow and The Lonely Scarecrow.  We will carefully study vocabulary terms that are important to understanding the scarecrow character.  In addition, students will be exposed to blogging!  Check out our kidblog!  Students will begin blogging about their reader's workshop books in class.  Blogging is a great way to share good books, as well as comment on what our classmates are reading.   Directions on how to appropriately comment on blogs will be sent home soon if your child wishes to do that at home.  However, school time will be provided for blogging!  Happy reading!  Perhaps enjoy a good book outside today….
