Novels have been chosen!

On Friday, I returned the persuasive paragraphs that students wrote last week, and we added them to our work portfolios. We will continue to develop our paragraph writing skills, as the year progresses. Students then listened to "book talks" given by me, about the eight possible novels to choose from for our novel study unit. Students chose their top three picks, and I distributed novels to the students. We spent the final fifteen minutes of class reading silently. It was wonderful. Please remember to bring your book with you to every class, as I will ask you to interact with it in some way, every day.
