Announcements and Reminders: 

• It is so easy to get your points for reading and for partner fluency practice. 
• Read during reading time.  After you read, fill out your reading log.
• Participate in partner fluency practice.  Fill out the graph with 
•      the date, the passage number (usually found in the upper right of the page), and your words per minute.  
• Both are quick and easy.
• If you have not been doing this, complete the make-up work for reading. Pick up a make-up sheet.
• Follow the directions. You need a parent signature for each twenty minutes of make-up reading you complete. 

Our Readathon will be on April 15, and you will move on to  Mrs. Fugal's class on April 17.

1. Individual Reading Time
Fill out your log afterward.


2. Partner Fluency Practice -- Use the passage you are assigned today with your assigned fluency partner.

3. You will read more about Lewis and Clark.  

     First work on your map for 10 minutes.  If your map is ready, use that time to read your choice of materials or to help other students add to their maps. 

     Finish up your map. Study it!  There will be a test!

4. More to read:  Become even more of an expert on Lewis and Clark, and add more information to your map. 

  

How is reading poetry different from reading prose?

Read and be prepared to answer questions about the reading assignment.

    You need at least 40 specific facts, placed appropriately, on your map.
