Well the school year is off to a great start!  The first two weeks of school we focused on creating a classroom community and establishing contracts about how we want to work with one another this year.

  

In Reading we’ve been thinking about how we can make reading the BEST it can be for us. We have also been practicing reading faster, longer, and stronger and not reading on autopilot.

Last week, we began our study of Colonial America with a prior knowledge challenge.  Working in small groups of 2-3, students were asked to create a graphic representation of what they knew about Colonial America.  They had only about 25 minutes to complete the task before their classmates took a look and offered feedback.

Stay tuned for more updates!
