We have been working in literature circle groups with books written by Mary Pope Osbourne.  The title selections were chosen by the students and groups were made from those choices.  A contract of respectful, responsible goals was created and signed by all members of each group.

Students have been independently reading and working through their booklets, then joining up in reading groups to read, discuss, share and collaborate.

It’s been a magical time and the Tree House theme helps students escape into our classroom inquiry of “What stories do the trees tell us?”
