Alder East Reading -
This week, our classroom reading time has been used to conduct Reading Assessments, complete a reading background and interest survey, explore the classroom inventory and begin independent reading. At this point, all students should have at least one book they are reading. This year, students will track all the books they read and use that info to track reading, and set reading goals. At School, we track all the books we begin and whether it's a book they finished, or abandoned (because if it's not a good fit they should find another book that is), what genre it is, along with notes and impressions of each book.
Our first weekly Reading Log was due Friday, and a new one has gone home for this week - due Friday 9/23.
Alder East Writing -
