We are all just about finished with our book projects, redesigning a book cover. They are being displayed on the shelf across the hall from the Omega/Sage room. We are picking our spelling program back up after a hiatus for winter vacation and transitioning back into school.
We are also beginning a new unit in which students will all be reading a biography or historical fiction novel that is related to their topic for the Cultural Display. We are currently researching options and selecting texts. Some kids have already started reading. The main purpose for this unit is to give students the opportunity to view their topic through a different, more personal lens than non-fiction texts offer. I am not sure where to go with a final literacy project for this unit and am open to suggestions from parents and kids. I was thinking something that contains a visual (art), something that incorporates story line and theme (literacy), and something that deals with historical information contained in the story (research). Let me know if anything pops into your head! As always, I am available if you have ideas, questions, concerns, or suggestions about the literacy curriculum. Thanks for your support.
