Today’s focus was recording a book chat for each student’s current independent read.  Topics to be discussed and recorded in Seesaw are below.  Recordings should have been at least 4 minutes but no more than 5 minutes.  While many students were able to successfully complete the assignment in class, several did not which indicates:

1.  Student needs to work on time management.
2.  Student is not being a mindful reader and really engaging with the book or has read very little.

Please take time to talk to your child about his/her current reading goal for his/her book; you can see this on the blue bookmarks we completed las week (see photo below).

Students could also finish yesterday’s  Question Trail; those who had everything completed could use any extra time for reading.
