New Read Aloud Alert!

 

We chose to start off Term 2 with an exciting new read aloud. The Wild Robot by Peter Brown is a story about survival, friendship, and overcoming difficult situations. We will soon be posting about our favourite characters and predictions we have. However, we promise not to spill the beans just in case anyone wants to read it for themselves!

Current Events

We have begun our study of current events and non-fiction texts. For practice, students have been asked to analyze different news articles and how these events are impacting others and themselves. Below are the articles we read in class today. If you happen to find any articles you think are interesting or think the rest of the class should know about, please send them my way :). 

Bionic Limbs

Australian Wildfires

Our New Read Aloud!

This book is our read aloud. It is called Posted by John David Anderson. It is an interesting book because it is about a boy in middle school.He just wants to be normal but that changes when cellphones get banned. The lesson in this story is that words aren’t just words they can be used as gifts or weapons.
