Students are nearly half way through their Lit Circle books and are thoroughly enjoying the experience of reading in class. We carve out some quiet time each day to read together and it is such a wonderful privilege. This week we will continue reading and practicing our vocabulary and grammar. Although a long week, it should be one in which students feel a bit of familiarity with the routine.
