This week, both 5th grade classes will be assigned to literature circle groups. It is important that each member of the group work together as a team. I have tried to create groups with mixed up students that will force each person to learn to work with others. It is up to YOU to choose to engage with the group each week. I will be giving participation credit each time we meet in literature cirles. Students choosing to not engage and discuss with teammates will be given a zero.
Please remember to drop everything at the door! All hard feelings should not be carried over into my classroom. We are a family, and I want to see you all respecting each other.
TASK FORCE- Each 5th grade class will have a reading task force. These three students will work with me on helping the rest of the class with assignments in literature circles. These students are taking on the responsibility to read ahead and handle a heavier workload, so please respect them and appreciate their help.
This 6 weeks we are reading Holes by Louis Sachar. I truly love this book and look forward to many great discussions and projects with you all.
