Our Week In Review

(One of our Book Talks)

This week, we finished reading Snow Treasure. Most of the students rated this book a 9 or a 10 because it was such an exciting adventure story. We discussed characters ~ and decided if we would like to be friends with the main characters of this story. Here we are talking about this.





Many of us would like to be friends with Peter Lundstrom ~ who is brave, smart and daring. We also learned about figurative language in this book. One thing we tracked was onomatopoeia. We created a wordle of the examples of onomatopoeia we found in this book. Here is a small copy of our wordle. Everyone has a copy in their reading journals.

One more reading update ~WE HAVE READ 660 BOOKS THIS YEAR!!!! I am so proud!

Some children have expressed that they are having trouble with Recorder Karate. Here is a link which will help the children with recorders.
