Scholastic News is a weekly magazine I subscribe to for Room 8. Each student gets their own copy. Many of them like to punch holes (3 hole punch) when we finish reading it and keep them in their binders. I think that's a great idea. At the end of the school year, they'll have a record of all the news that happened during their fourth grade year.
Usually we have some comprehension questions to answer from the stories. Prior to today, we would read the stories together and discuss them. Sometimes we would read the questions before we read the story, and then I'd have students raise their hands when they heard the answer to a question. It's a new skill in 4th grade to be reading for information. Today, Room 8 worked in partners and read the magazine AND answered the questions together. Some of them finished...some didn't. After today it became homework...although it's not due until Thursday.
Conall and Nikkiah are excited about reading about pennies. Sterling and Lindsey...yep, that's Lindsey reading in a rather unconventional way!
Look at Tiffany and Anne! This photo looks like they posed, but they didn't. Ms. van Ark answers a question for Nate and Cole.
Joshua and Connor are diligently working...so are Donnie and Jack!
We had one group of 3 - Ashley P., Sydney, and Bailee. Now Kade is noticing there might be a Kodak Moment of he and Brenden coming up!
Now Garrett and Amanda were definitely working...even though it looks like Garrett might be half asleep. He wasn't...the photographer caught him in between blinks... maybe!
