4PA Update

During the upcoming week, students will be reading a story entitled "Lenny's Red-Letter Day" by Bernard Ashley.  Learners will be reading, discussing and annotating the text throughout the week.  They will be receiving direct instruction regarding the annotation process as I will be modeling and completing think alouds to assist students in understanding this learning task. We will be exploring the following concepts while reading and annotating: big ideas, details, ethics, character traits and inferential thinking.  Students will also be responsible for identifying when the main character, Prakash, is showing concern for himself and others.  

On Thursday, October 31, we will be having a "Glow Day".  Students may wear white or neon clothing.  We will take this opportunity to engage in the writing process and create spooky or mystery stories.  I know the students will have LOTS of FUN!
