Hello 5th grade readers! I am thrilled to have you this year, and I cannot wait to begin working with you all!! We have so many fun things planned for this year that I am excited to share with you. We will begin the year by reading your choice of 3 novels. We will be looking at what authors do when writing and composing a story, through the elements that they use. Also, we will discuss the importance and impact that the characters have on a story and how their struggles and triumphs can influence the readers interpretation of the purpose of the story. You will also be learning how to "interact" with the text that you read through our structured sticky-notes. I cannot wait to begin! Please come ready to learn and build STAMINA as a reader! This will be a truly special year for us all!

The World Class Outcomes we will focus on at the beginning of the year are:

*Creates meaning strategically through reading, writing, listening and speaking.

*Evaluate how authors are strategic in creating meaning through more elements and more complex text

4C: Collaboration/Communication

21st Century Skill: Resiliency
