This year in Language Arts students will have the opportunity to read many books of their choice. As teachers we will conference with students individually in regards to what they are reading and their book choices. Students will also be asked to do regular vocabulary words and reader responses in regards to the book they are currently reading. Each student has also set an individual reading goal that they are working towards. Please ask your child about what they are reading and encourage them to read at home.
In reading we are finishing up Unit 3 of our textbook.
In English we have been working on verbs and writing stories to enter into the Eastern Iowa Reading Council Writing Contest. Winners will have a chance to read their stories at the meeting in Independence in February.
