This year, I will be collaborating with Mrs. Huckstep during her reading block twice each week and during her Social Studies and Science block twice each week. We will be integrating the curriculum to include math as well. Already, a small group of students has worked with me to extend their understanding of character traits. We read Julius, Baby of the World by Kevin Henkes. Students stretched themselves by using advanced and sophisticated vocabulary rather than the most obvious words to describe the characters. We also used another Kevin Henkes book (Sheila Rae, the Brave) to explore main and supporting characters. During Social Studies, students have worked to create a community with rules. We have just begun our science unit about magnets.
