Current News for the Week of August 29-September 2

* Grade 5 is currently working on the second round of Literature Circles.   The genre is mysteries, and students are reading and discussing these wonderful books – The Mystery of the Phantom Ship by Laura E. Williams, The Mystery at Miss Abigail’s by Lois Gladys Leppard, Key to the Treasure by Peggy Parish, The Mystery Bookstore by Gertrude Chandler Warner, and The Mystery of the Haunted Playhouse by Laura E. Williams.

Students worked together to set up a reading schedule for the number of pages to read each day, depending on the number of days available. There are always 2-3 additional days added to the schedule to create a variety of projects  for publication online.

Fifth graders are assessed on their participation in Lit Circle discussion groups, their written responses to daily reading assignments (similar to homework reading logs), and their literature circle projects.
