In my larger 5th grade group we have started Module 1: Unit 2 and a big part of that is getting back into Close Reading like we did in the 4th grade. Students did a great job rereading and looking for words they didn't know. Then they found the gist of the paragraphs. I'm very proud of their hard work.
We continue to read The World According to Humphrey as a school wide project and our students are LOVING it. I like to hide my Humphrey daily within my classroom and the students have the best time trying to find him and coming up with ideas of how he travels from place to place.
