OVERVIEW: (November 9th to December 18th)
Our second inquiry learning concept will be "Creating a New Nation". We will establish a number of essential questions (Big Picture Questions) and read diligently to pursue a wide range of information to better understand and respond to each question. You can look forward to fictional texts, informational texts, and many online sources.
ROTATIONS:
Rotations is an approach to Reading Workshop that allows the teacher to meet in small groups and with individual students to meet students' needs. While students are working with their learning team practicing reading skills, the teacher can pull flexible groups of students to extend skill practice.
Students have a literacy menu that defines the tasks they should work on during this time. Rubrics, or scoring guides, are also available for students and parents to better understand what is expected for each level of proficiency (Advanced, Proficient, Progressing, Beginning).
Check the homework webpage or call Homework Hotline at 561-6199 for the current assignments.
Everyone should be reading a minimum of 30 minutes each night.
