Our new reading and writing units focus on historical fiction text. Our new read aloud book takes place during WWII. In reader's workshop, we are a reading a second text to look at a different perspective on the same time in our history. That book is called Number The Stars.
Since we completed our reading unit on reading historical fiction, we celebrated by watching Johnny Tremain!
After each read aloud book, one of us makes a bookmark for our recommendation basket. This way we will always remember all of the books we've read.
Wondering Wednesday! Each of us wrote our plans for what we want to learn more about, create, design, or investigate. These are some of the things we did!
