The students came in ready to learn today and were so engaged throughout the day!
Today we started doing a reading response after our Daily 5 Read to Self and Read to Someone. For fiction books, we are working on giving a brief summary, describing the characters, and describing the setting. As we progress, we will add more details and start inferring and predicting.
For non fiction books, we are writing about what we learned, what we found interesting and recording any wonders we still have. Here are a few of the responses below:

We also started looking at our Me Shoeboxes and guessing whose box belonged to who. I presented mine and I think I actually stumped the class with the objects I brought. Feel free to send yours in whenever you are ready. We would like to have them all in by the end of the week if possible. Take a peek:
