Students excitedly began reading groups today! Each received a special journal. The first task was to decide how much of their book to read each session (most groups chose to read a chapter) and who does which job when. Students now know the chapters that they are responsible for and the assigned job for each session through the remainder of the book. Click here to see the reading group job descriptions that were posted in student reading journals. Ask your child which job s/he has for tomorrow.

Reading groups occur on Wednesdays and Thursdays for forty five minutes while students are in half groups for Spanish. Generally, a group discussion lasts for twenty minutes, and students spend the rest of the time reading then doing their group job. Homework for Wednesday and Thursday nights will be for students to complete their assigned job. Posted in a previous blog entry are the reading groups--please check in with your child periodically about how things are going in regards to understanding their book. It really helps to re-read chapters and even preview chapters by listening to a tape first. Reading aloud or taking turns reading would also be a help.
