Hey all!
This week has been a busy one. We spent most of our time getting to know our groups and our books, with a little bit of a detour where we were able to focus on some argumentative work together. We had our first two official literature circle discussions! We were prepared for these, everyone had a chance to get involved in these discussions, and (by the second one) we were able to stay on topic and really get into our book. In fact, everyone kept discussing even after time was up! Way to go. We even had a spelling test on Friday. You will most definitely have more time to get yourself prepared for the next one. Yes, the next one... I hope you all are ready to discuss even more next week. Have your books on Monday, with your notes, and we will start to explore how we can best share our books–our thoughts, our understanding, our perspectives– with the world! Mr. Ruth.

Weekly HappeningsThis is where you can check and see a brief overview of what we have done as a class each week. My intention is to keep this up to date with happenings, assignments, trends, previews of the following week, and anything else that needs to be shared with my students and their families. I may not always get something written each week, but I will do my best to be disciplined in keeping you informed. Archives
