May 16, 2011

Hi everyone,

I apologize for the lengthy delay between postings, but we had some technical difficulties that prevented me from getting onto the website.

In Reading, we are involved in Historical Fiction Literature Circles.  The students are reading books with a small group and twice each week, they respond to the text in different ways.  They'll be using art, connections, vocabulary words, and discussions to share their feelings as they read.

We have just finished learning about the Revolutionary War and will next be moving into the founding of our government.  We'll be learning about the Articles of Confederation, Constitution, Bill of Rights, and three branches of Government.

In Writing, we're going to be writing about the themes in either Lois Lowry's "The Giver" or Gary Paulsen's "Hatchet" and how those themese can provide lessons for us in our own lives.

The students will be taking over the blogging again this Friday!

Have a great week!

Jeff
