Two steps forward... one step back.

The wild woolies were with me this week. Funny how whole groups will behave entirely differently from week to week.

Did book checkout this week and continued talking about CYRM winners. Not too much in the way of lessons since it takes so much herding to get kids to check out their books although I did get through Stanley's Party with the younger kids. They like the book.

Next week - background research on Nepal for the 4th and 5th graders in preparation for reading I, Doko. Good opportunity for working on using research and reference materials with a solid connection to literature.

Third graders will review settings, characters, plot sequence and some inference for Stanley's Party. We'll read Lucky Dog next and do a diagram for similarities between the two. Good opportunity to talk about reading strategies.
