Under Construction

Having a hard time identifying with an audience on this blog, I've decided to go Google sites! More geared towards students, I'm sad to say that this blog may be a bit neglected again. Time will tell...

Until then, Happy Teaching!!!!

We're writing about our reading!

We've been jotting down a "blurb" everyday as a part of reader's workshop. Today the class generated a few sentence starters for an easier transition from reading to writing, and to help if they are stuck. Here is the list they came up with...

• I made a connection to the book when...
• I do (or do not) recommend this book because...
• I liked the book because...
• My favorite part of the book was when___________because...
• The book I read was interesting because... 

The blurbs are getting stronger as I model stronger reflections from our read alouds.
