Reading -  Students spend independent reading time on Achieve 3000, reading articles, completing activities, and responding to thought questions.  We are also working on reading invitations looking for who, what, when, where, time, and RSVP.   This week students will continue to work on summarizing skills while they listen to the story "Help! I'm a Prisoner in the Library."  Each day we work through the Daily 5 which includes reading to self, reading to someone, word work, writing, and technology.
