Reading
As we wrap up reading class for the 2010-2011 school year, we will review all the strategies we have covered. Friday will be our last day of reading. We will be reading about Red Cross this week in correlation to our school fundraiser.
The students really enjoyed reading Phantom of the Opera. It was amazing to see all of their hard work pay off at the end of the year. They worked on decoding, fluency, prediction, clarification, and summarizing. To further wrap up the unit students will be making a special project this week.
