1st Quarter Reading Reflections

During the first quarter, our reading group has enjoyed experiencing lots of different genres of text. We have read fiction, non-fiction, biographies, poems, chapter books and more. On the last day of the quarter, we reflected on what we've done so far. Here are our thoughts.....

Equasha said: My favorite part of reading group is reading together in a group. We get to help each other when we get stuck and we learn from one another.

Juwan thinks: We read books that we can take AR tests on later to see if we understand. It helps me to become a better reader when Ms. Fuller explains new words to me.

Shanel believes: Reading group is fun because I learn a lot about history. I didn't know a lot about Thurgood Marshall before we read his biography, but now I do.

CJ commented: I enjoy learning new things I didn't know about famous people in history. We use a lot of thinking maps too and those are fun.

Tyreesha thinks: Reading group is fun because we get to read together and use graphic organizers. They help me figure out what was important about the story and which parts I didn't understand.

As we begin the 2nd quarter, we are looking forward to lots of new reading experiences. We know the more we read, the easier it will become.

Stay tuned for more reflections....
