ELAR Week August 20 - 24:

  Week August 20 - 24, 2018

Reading Workshop:

This week in ELAR we will be using our previous week's interactive read alouds to discuss our new concept of "Establishing purposes for reading". Students will learn how reading connects to real world purposes, as well as how our purpose may simply be for pleasure, or to inform us. We will also work to look at the messages an author is trying to convey to us, as we learn to connect our reading to ourselves, and other texts. 

Read Alouds: 
- We're All Wonders
- Malala's Magic Pencil
- What Do You Do With a Problem?

Writing Workshop:

This week we will begin using writing strategies to draft our first piece of writing which will be a "Personal Narrative". Students will use strategies that will cause them to think about important people, places, and other ideas to construct their pieces.
