books.jpg2nd Quarter is here! During 2nd Quarter, we will be reading a lot more Nonfiction Text. I envision reading newspapers, magazine articles, and cookbooks. Cookbooks?!?  Our Unit of Study in writing is How-To.  We will be reading and writing about the steps involved in doing different things.  Who knows “How to” make a Go Kart?
But before we get to that, what are some things you learned about yourself as a reader during the 1st quarter?  What is a different genre you want to try reading this quarter?  Why?  I look forward to hearing from all of you.
