Today, after a reading comprehension quiz, students had a chance to read independently; some read the News and Record while others read their own books. Students had the opportunity to post their reviews of The Outsiders to our blog. We also practiced writing analogies and had the chance to perform another readers theatre; this time it was "The Princess Mouse." The students who were given the Kate Chopin short story to read and consider yesterday were given a reading comprehension quiz.
Homework: SSR and enjoy the three-day weekend.
