Description

Throughout this class, we will read together, as well as independently read assigned chapters for homework. During each session, students will follow along, read aloud, and participate in discussions related to homework and in-class readings. 

As we read, we will strengthen comprehension using various strategies, such as visualization, making predictions, making connections, character development, vocabulary, and problems/solutions that arise as we read.

Weekly Homework: Students will be assigned a portion of the book to read independently each week, along with assigned short answer questions/journal writing. 

Final Activity/Project: Students will write a paragraph focusing on the theme of kindness and friendship while making connections. Students will also create a Wishtree of their own.

This book will be read during class and for homework. Please borrow or purchase a copy before class begins. 

Students who do not wish to read aloud or share, do not have to.
