  We have wrapped up Book Club and will be focusing on nonfiction until our next genre unit. Students will continue reading in their own books and working on goals. We will also practice strategies learned during our next Read Aloud.

  Students chose a person from history to research and write a biography. Students read a book about their person of choice. Students are finishing their drafts, revising, and editing. They will be able to type, write, or present their biographies in another way.

We worked on the study guide for the quiz on Monday. Students have been working on projects about planets and the sun in Infotech and will present these this week.
