Book talks

We are always encouraging our students to be reading. This is a large part of our daily 5 as well as silent reading time when students come in from recess. We not only want them reading, we want them enjoying what they're reading. I am working hard to create a classroom library students can look forward to. If there is a book they'd like to read that isn't part of our library- they are welcome to give me a pitch and I will purchase it.

In an attempt to encourage reading at school and home, students will be participating in book talks. Every week I will be selected 2-3 different students to do a presentation (on day 5's). They will be choosing a grade level book and sharing it with the class by answering these questions...

*This will be due and presented on day 5’s, you will share your first three answers with the class.
