October 7 ~ ALL Reading Blocks

Today we started week 3 reading warm-ups.  We then discussed the theme of unit 1: Time of My Life.  Students worked with a partner to tell how each story in our unit fit the theme.  Our five stories for the unit were: The Wise Old Woman, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Wilma Unlimited, The Wreck of the Zephyr, and Tornadoes.  In their reading notebook they should have a chart similar to the one below.
