We've begun our in-class novel, Maniac Magee, by Jerry Spinelli. We have a class set of these books and we will be reading and discussing this in groups in class. We urge students to NOT read ahead, no matter how tempting!
To facilitate in-depth conversations we are practicing the various roles of the literature circle. Each role has a "role sheet" to complete before joining the discussion.
We have read "Before the Story" and Chapter 1, and we are practicing the Connector Role. Completion of the role sheet will encourage students to read actively and have meaningful conversations.

We'll try to keep this site up to date on the happenings in class. Remember, your child's agenda book is THE BEST SOURCE of information on a daily basis. Questions? Concerns? Let us know. Together we will help your child to have a successful year.
