Scholastic News is a magazine I subscribe to for Room 8. Each week, each student gets their own copy. We read it together, or they read it alone, or sometimes I let them read it with a partner. We usually have some questions to go along with it. I feel it's a great tool for teaching how to read for information. The articles aren't long, so it's easier to go back and find the information.This year, at least until November, we'll have a lot of articles on the presidential race. We've already had some discussions...and we'll be voting soon - by secret ballot, of course!
Wasey and Sam were working together.
I can't remember who Vanessa's partner was...probably Kacey since he sits next to her. 
One of the weekly features is the Debate of the Week. These are great...giving a situation that 4th graders could find themselves in. This week was on students getting paid for their grades - by the school! I was impressed that most Room 8ers said, "No, students should not get paid for their grades." There was a variety of reasons.
Austin J and Faith worked together.Did you know we're losing Faith? I'm so sad...she's moving to another town... :(

I am sorry that Faith is moving away. She has been a great member of Room 8. I know she will be missed!

I did not see me.
