Welcome to the first day of school for 2016! I am so excited to be back and I hope you are too!  We began the new year by doing a good fit book activity.  We reviewed what good fit books are as well as our reading strategy that we should be focusing on.  The students were given the opportunity to look at good fit books they may not have noticed in the classroom or library before.  Then, they were given time to go to the library and check out these good fit books.

The students were also given their figurative language quizzes back.  We reviewed these in class.  The grades have been posted online for all of break.

Lastly, the students were introduced to the theme of a story.  This is something we will be focusing on for the next few weeks of class.

Have a great evening and once again, welcome back!  I hope we have a great 2016!
