stared read across kentucky",well our teacher saw that kids were puting the same thing on their reading log. So she decide to start Read Across KY.  Now kids can read different types of books and write different types of books reflections on Edmodo or on paper. That's what we've been doing on Read Acroos KY.

Great Reading Website

We will be using this website in the classroom to help us read a variety of books to go along with Read Across America.  Go to tumblebookcloud.com, our school username is Centerfield and the password is login.  Students can find many interesting ebooks here that I will accept toward thier 25 books.

Can I understand it?

           In math reflections we've been working on explaining and being more clear so the teacher can read it and understand what you mean.We stared adding math vocab words to our word wall so if you need to no how to spell a word go grab it off of our word wall.

           In writing we work on adding more and tryingto reveal the main characters desire and struggles. As a writing activity we got with a partner and worked on showing them the story not telling them.(just so they could get an idea of what the story's about)

          On indpendent reading time we work on being a 4,3,2,1 but a 4 is the one we all want. If we get a 4 then we get the prize of knowing the Mrs.Kapfhammer is proud of you;).If we don't get it we write about how we can be a 4 next time.


Sorry I'm just now blogging hopes this make up for it. :) :)  :) :) :) :) Tezja

Reflections

Students are starting to turn in reflections on some of their books that they have completed for Read Across KY.  If possible, I would like reflections to be typed on Edmodo, but I will except written copies if need be.  Below are three great reflection examples turned in by two students.  The first on is an example of the Interview a Character Reflection.  The other two are Book Recommendation Reflections.  These students did a great job.  Remember reflections are to be 3 paragraphs.  I sent home examples a few weeks ago, but can do it again if you didn't get the copy.

Homework?????

I know that many of you have questions about the weekly homework log.  Students need to fill this out as they read or write a reflection during the week.  Some nights they may just be reading, some nights just working on a reflection.  It is really up to your child and what stage they are at with a book.  They should use a highlighter to highlight the genre of the book they are reading and tools used while reading.  Below is an example of a good weekly homework log.  Also, students should be filling in their Read Across KY reading log, as they finish a book and submit a reflection for that book.  I will collect them periodically as well.  See example below.
