As we continue our work on our first set of novels, Bridge to Terabithia & My Side of the Mountain, our focus will continue to be comprehension and attention to main events and details of a story. Students will continue to participate as members of book club group meetings where they get the opportunity to discuss their understanding and interpretations of what they read.

I will begin meeting with students to conference about reading goals that will be set and worked on for the next few weeks. This will be documented in their reading notebook and shared with you. Goals will be centered around the following categories: genre interpretations, deeper thinking skills, stamina building, and/or word attack and fluency goals. This will also be used to determine future book club discussions.
