We have our first full week after Winter Break in! It was a busy week filled with point of view discussions, character traits, and research. Every student has picked a famous person, from the past or present day, to research. We have been working on using reputable sources to find valuable information. We also discussed what a bibliography is and have been keeping a list of all our citations. Soon we will begin putting our research into a project. I am looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!
Additionally, North Hills kicked off our One School, One Book for this school year - Matilda! It has been great to read through such a wonderful book as a school. I am excited to continue having engaging discussions on what we're thinking about this book.
Finally, our "Shelf"ie is growing really fast! I will post a picture sometime soon, so stay tuned!
Question of the Week: What has been your favorite part of Matilda so far? Email me by Monday morning for a chance to pick from the candy closet!
