4th grade- Folk tales **We've reviewed author's purpose (PIE- persuade, inform, entertain). Fiction stories, like folk tales, are meant to entertain. We also learned a few morals/lessons from the story: don't be a bully, don't be selfish, work together, practice makes you better, etc.
5th grade- We've enjoyed our Storyworks magazine and also the biography this week on Esther Morris. It's been a great time to do this since the story and leveled readers are all nonfiction and go along with voting. Great connection to life, especially getting ready for next Tuesday!
6th grade has also enjoyed Storyworks magazine. The story this week was an autobiography about a woman who had pet crows. We are discussing the author's judgement or opinion. You can see clues throughout the story even though she throws it in there with facts that lets us know what her opinion is, especially about crows.
Happy reading!
I have read 4 chapter books this week already...I feel so book-arific!!! Thanks for inspiring me Mrs.Marler!
