Happy December To All!!
Eighth graders have written wonderful essays on Benjaming Banneker which are on display in the classroom. Nice job everyone! We practiced some speed reading today with fun easy books, and some more difficult material. Timed readings are a great way to improve speed and confidence with oral reading. All improved significantly each time they read. Nice Job. Vacation is just about here. Idea: Start reading that new book you got as a gift, or picked out yourself at the book store or library. I want to hear all about it when you return!
Seventh graders have enjoyed the George C. Scott version of A Christmas Carol. This version of the movie is very true to Dickens, and was enjoyed with a snack courtesy of the kids. Thank you!
Grade Six was introduced to Mr. Gow's favorite book, Marvin of the Great North Woods by Kathryn Lasky, illustrated by Kevin Hawkes. This wonderful story fits right in with Iron Will (the movie) which we will enjoy Wednesday, and later write about. All of the winter themes are totally appropriate for the first day of winter and our 17 inches of snow!
KIDS:
Please encourage your family members to read with you orally. A short newspaper article, or funny feature story is always more enjoyable when you share it with someone !
Keep up the good work students, and thanks for checking out the web page!!
Please remember I have many wonderful books to borrow on my own personal library shelves. All students should have a personal reading book at all times. They have (2) 20 minute periods each week devoted to silent reading. They should also continue to read at home, even if it is just for 10 minutes a day. Just stop by my room any time for a new book or magazine.
I have current and past issues of ACTION and READ magazine, and these can be accessed online from this web page.
