Not only did we begin our novel study this week, but we looked at the rich vocabulary found within the first few pages of the novel. Students were given
VOCABULARY PADDLES to raise every time they heard a word they did not understand. This word was added to our
word wall.
Students also studied the main character
Charlotte Doyle. We will continue to study Charlotte as she grows through each struggle she faces.
In
READING BUDDIES, we finally met our buddies! Ms Berman and I (Miss Eisen), went through a MadLibs example for the student, resulting in a pretty silly story.
After a much-needed review of NOUNS, VERBS, ADVERBS, ADJECTIVES, PRONOUNS, and PLEURAL NOUNS, our students were ready to delve into their own MadLibs with their buddies.
