This Week's Academics
MUR -This week we will wrap up the literature circles that we have been working on the last several weeks. Students are grouped according to their STEP levels. Mrs. Nett, our student teacher, and I will each be leading two groups of students. I will be reading James and the Giant Peach with my groups, and Mrs. Nett will be reading Because of Winn-Dixie with her groups. We will be leaving the books at school since we have borrowed them from several different resources. If you would like to check out the book from your library to have at home, that would be great!
