One Week Down!

It was a fantastic first week in 6th Grade! We spent time discussing how independent reading and free writing should look and sound so that our time spent in these moments are as engaging and successful as possible throughout the year.

Coming up this week ...

• We'll be talking about good strategies that readers use to stay engaged with their books.
• We'll chat about what makes a good letter and will be starting our own Letter Logs to keep in touch throughout the school year! (We'll be reading one of my favorite picture books to introduce this concept!)
• We'll start talking about different genres to help us decide what books we love the most ... and maybe even explore some new ones!
• Finally ... we'll have time for independent reading! So come ready to curl up with a good book!

Question of the Week: What picture book do you think we'll be reading? Email me an answer by Monday morning to win some candy!

HINT: The answer is somewhere else on this blog!
