New LIterature Circle Unit

Hello all,

Just after spring break we have begun a new literature circle unit. This will be very similar to the previous unit but with different books and the addition of transition words at the beginning of each fact.

Each week students will:

- three Expanded Vocabulary Words and write the sentence or the main part of the sentence as it is written in the book.

- two/three Reactions (or wonders) to the text

- five facts using transition words (examples glued into their books beside the cover page they created)

Groups will meet on:

Tuesday: Dear Hound
Wednesday: The World According to Humphrey
Thursday: Smarter Than Squirrels
Friday: The Dragon's Child

Any further question please email me cmckeachie@sd61.bc.ca

Oreo Moon Phases

As a fun activity to wrap up our space unit we used Oreo cookies to demonstrate the moon phases.
