With our first 5 day week complete, many of us are looking forward to the long weekend and a short 4 day week next week! Middle School classes are starting to gear up and Language Arts is no exception. While we've started to ease into some procedures and topics we'll be discussing in class this year, next year we will start our regular "routine" in class.
This week we discussed how to choose a book that is just right for us. We also wrote letters to ourselves describing how our first week of middle school went and our goals for the year. We will get them back on the last day of 5th grade LA!
We also posted on the Summer Reading section of the blog what other books we read this summer besides Wonder. This will be a great reference for our fellow classmates to refer to if they are looking for a new book to read as we posted whether or not we would recommend the book to others.
On Day 4 of LA this year we began our discussion on our summer reading book Wonder. We chose one of the four main characters and divided into groups. With our groups we discussed what our character was thinking, feeling, and seeing during 6 different events in the novel. We will do an activity next week with our brainstorms.
All of the 5th grade classes also attended a Library Orientation during one class period to learn about the Middle School Library. They had a short "tour" to learn where things were located and what resources were available. The MS library is open 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM.
Enjoy the long weekend! Remember to bring a book to read independently on Tuesday!
