• Our first Book Talk was a huge success! Although
many students were nervous to speak in front of
the class, while using a microphone, they rose to
the challenge and overcame their fears. It was a
great example of growth mindset. The purpose
of the book talk was to inspire others to read,
discuss books , and to practice public speaking.
They will have another book talk on Oct. 29th.
• We will be starting TAG on Monday. TAG is a
30 min. reading block that allows students to
read, discuss, and analyze books at their reading
level. All readers need support and this is the
time they will receive it. Even the ‘best’ readers
need help with motivation, stamina, book choice,
and reading habits. The students will rotate
between all the 3rd grade teachers and learn
about different genres during their book clubs.
At the end of each session, they will create
meaningful projects about
the book they read.
Book Talk
Goal Setting
Each week
your child
meets with me
to check on
cssacascjkjk
his/her
reading and
writing goals.
Book Talk
Your child should
be prepared to tell
us about a book
he/she read at
home on Oct. 29th.
If they can bring
the book to show,
that would be
great.
