September Book Report

September Book Report

Sample Book Report

Many of you have been looking at the book report assignment that the children will be turning in on Thursday, September 27th.  A fantasy is a fictional story where there is a struggle between good and evil that often involves magic or creatures that don't exist in real life.  The characters or objects do things that couldn't happen in real life. Adventure stories have a character who lives by his wits and skills and is constantly placed in dangerous situations.  An adventure story may or may not be fantasy, since there are nonfiction adventures, as well.

The students may use books at Altara's library or any other location.  They should choose books they haven't read before that are appropriate for their reading levels (not too hard or too easy).

Use toys or other objects in your container.

Remember to check the rubric in your homework folder for instructions.  If you have any questions or concerns about the book report requirements, feel free to contact me.  Happy Reading!

School's Flying Bye!

Welcome to the third week everyone!  I can't believe how fast everything is going.  There are a few things I need clarify and thought this would be the perfect spot :)  The reading calendars are off this year.  We make them new as a third grade every year and this year somehow the new ones were switched out with the old ones before copied.  So I do apologize for that, but just remember to read 100 minutes a week and we will keep right on track throughout the year. 

Minutes of Reading a Week!

We have been working really hard on many different vocabulary words.  So ask your student this week what some of their Amazing Words are.  This is our oral vocabulary for the week and we will be working hard on improving our oral speech.  It should be lots of fun to learn so many different words this week.
