The final book of the year is Walk Two Moons, a complex, touching story by Sharon Creech. We are reading the novel together and journaling in class.
April's Genre:
April's Genre:
Fantasy - This month, your child should read a fantasy novel. These were self-selected at the beginning of the month. To stay on pace, your child should read about 1/4 of their book each week. We will explore how this genre differs from the other genres discussed throughout the school year.
Coffee Talk TBA!
Each month, your child will read a different genre and analyze the text for plot elements, character traits, and genre characteristics. There will be a sheet to fill out while your child is reading, and at the end of the month, your child will have a writing assignment to complete helping add to their year-long Genre Project.
*Please ask your child about what they are reading and help them make sure they are keeping up with their reading each week!
***For novels - In class, we divide the number of pages in the book by the number of weeks in the month so students know how many pages they should be reading each week to stay on track to finish by the end of the month. Please check in with your child to see where they are in their book each week.
