Orange and Yellow Reading Groups
This week we will be reading a story from our Journey's reading series called, Click, Clack, Moo, Cows That Type. Many of the students have heard this story before, but we will be digging deep to learn new vocabulary words and drawing conclusions from the clues given in the text. Students will be taking their comprehension test over this story on Thursday this week (Team Day will be on Friday.). If you want to listen to this story online and read along, check out this link here!
Green Reading Group
We will continue our study of Edward Tulane. We did finish the book last week so now we will finish discussing the book, take the AR tests, and work on a final project. We will also have our 4 new words this week and a word of the day quiz on Friday.
Words this week are: estimate, opinion, friendly, and competitive
Red Reading Group
We will be reading the story Zoo Party. I will send home the book each night to practice. We will work on vocabulary strategies and drawing conclusions from the text.
All reading groups will be getting a new reading log this week. There are 10 nights to complete during the month of November. Please remember that books must be on the child's independent reading level! I have put the reading levels on all reading logs!

Crakenstein Week!
Hello all!
Red, Yellow, and Orange Groups:
As we are gearing up for Halloween, we are reading the book Crankenstein this week.
While it may seem that it goes along with a Halloween theme, it's actually about our feelings and things that make us happy and sad. We will be doing several journal entries this week and talking about those emotions. If you would like to watch a read aloud online, you can click HERE!
There will not be a vocabulary section on the comprehension quiz this week.
Green Group: They will continue to read Edward Tulane and work through the text with various activities.
ALL READING CLASSES: I have made a bright green reading log for each class. The only reading homework for the next two weeks is to read one AR book (that is on their level) and take a test on it the following day. Because AR is designed to be individualized, each child has their own level and their own goal. I have written their level on the reading log and I have also put their goal for the nine weeks. These reading logs will be due Monday, October 31 and will be worth 5 Dojo points! I will also do random spot checks so the students can earn Dojo points that way. If you have any questions about the reading log, please email me. I will be more than happy to help!
