5th and 6th Grade MUR: This week we began our new book Flora and Ulysses by Newberry award winner Kate DiCamillo. Students are enjoying this unique story and looking for examples of author perspective as well as figurative language. In lit circles, we continue to read our books and practice our habits of discussion.
7th and 8th Grade MUR: This week in A Boy who Dared, students continued to look at theme and find evidence to support the various themes in the book. We're also taking a closer look at setting and how it effects the mood of a story. In spelling we are focusing on Latin Roots. In grammar students worked with verbs.
