This week was a very exciting week. We met author, Jason Chin. Mr. Chin writes and illustrates his books. We highly encourage you to check out some of his works! Here's what has been going on in our class:
Writing:
We have drafted our descriptive writing pieces. Next week we will focus only on the beginning and end of our pieces. We will learn strategies authors use to hook their readers!
Reading:
We started a Folk Tale unit. Students are working to identify the moral or lesson in each one. Next week we will work in reading groups that focus on folk tales.
