Reading
This
week, we will be working on STAAR like reviews using anchor stations,
question stems, and games. We will continue to increase our independent
reading time to support our stamina for the STAAR test as well. We are
encouraging our students to continue to read at home every evening for
at least 30 minutes if not more. Thank you for all your support this
year with their Reading Logs. Many students have shared how they have
discovered "new" genres through our reading logs. This is always great
news to hear!!
