Reading

Class Reading

"BYOB - Bring Your Own Book"

In our class reading time, students bring their own books to dive into! Students discuss their reading and are given a comprehension worksheet to complete over their reading. 

For students who did not bring a book to class, they chose from the class library, or the Central Texas Library Selection. 

Worksheet

• "Summarizing Reading"

Writing

Five Minute Creative Writing Challenge: "Tape Player" (Tuesday) and "Robot Hearts" (Wednesday)

Students took 5 minutes in class to creatively write. They used a holiday themed worksheet to enhance their creative writing skills. Spelling, punctuation, and capitalization skills are not the focus of this challenge! Students have five minutes to dig deep into their creative minds and write about what they see!
