Home Reading, Setting, and the Book Challenge

Today a new set of home reading books and assignments are heading to your house.  Thank you to everyone for returning the books and homework pages!

Our reading focus for the next few weeks will be the setting of the story.  We are asking the students to tell us WHERE and WHEN the story takes place.  They know that it quite often does not say in the book, however we can find out using clues in the story and pictures.

The homework sheet, which is double sided, is directed at finding the setting of one of their stories.  Students are asked to draw the setting AND then write words or sentences to describe the setting.  Please remember to ask about both where the story is happening and when it is happening, as we are trying to become confident in both.

Your child will also have a coloured piece of paper with book spines on it within their home reading.  This is part of the SCC challenge to read as many books as possible.  For each book your child reads they are to fill out a book spine and an adult needs to sign it.  Send the page back to school (we will cut them out here) and we will submit them to the library.  I only sent one sheet this week however if you would like more there are some at school that your child can grab.

Thank you in advance for your help and hard work!
