In reading we finished problem/solution text structure. The kids enjoyed being super sleuths playing Clue before Thanksgiving break. We will begin "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens Thursday, December 3rd with an author study. I think it is important to have background knowledge of the authors as well as reading their magnificent literary works. The test is written in play form, therefore the classes will rotate speaking/reading parts daily in their reading groups. We will focus on plot line and literary elements.
In writing we will finish this quarter with more figurative language. This week we will focus on hyperboles. Shel Silverstein is the author I'm incorporating into the writing lessons. My students will also keep an in-depth log of figurative language found in "A Christmas Carol".
I'm still in desperate need of a bookcase if anyone has one in good condition and would like it to find a new home!
If any parents would like to purchase Clue games for my classroom, it would be immensely appreciated. Thank you!
