New Year - New Novels!

We were excited to start new novels (all award winners!) in literature today! Each group was assigned and had the opportunity to plan out the month with their group. They divided the novel into 5 sections, assigned due dates for each section and summary, and planned a final due date for their skill folders. Each group had time to read aloud together at the end. Ask your child about their new novel study group!
