Starting on Tuesday, students will be introduced to new reading response journals. Third grade students should be reading 20-30 minutes every night. Now I want them to keep track of their thoughts and ideas while reading. I will be assigning reading passages in chapter books and students will have guidelines in the front of their RRJ for entries. These entries should give insight into the student's thinking and be written neatly and carefully. This journal will be graded! I genuinely look forward to reading the journals.
Also this week, students will receive a new literature circle book and partner. They will be reading this book for a longer period of time and will need to work with their partner on an in class note style reading log. The students will also meet in groups to discuss what they have been reading and their thoughts they have recorded. This will also count as a grade.
Back to school tomorrow!
