We are reading One and Only Ivan!
One and Only Ivan was written by Katherine Applegate and won the Newbery Award this year. The book is about a gorilla who lives a lonely life in a mall. He has a few friends, Bob, a stray dog, Stella, an old elephant, Julia, the mall janitor's daughter, and a baby elephant named Ruby. It's a sad life but Ivan is used to it, until he makes a promise to Stella that changes everything.

In class, we have been focusing on writing about our experiences and people or things that we never want to forget. We have studied several authors whose books tend to be about their experiences and people they care about. We think authors write about experiences and people because they want to share those experiences and special people with their readers. We think author's want to connect with their readers by sharing things that are special to them. We are blogging so that we can share our own special experiences and people with others beyond our classroom.
We are having a great time blogging but we would really like some blogging buddies. Buddies who will come to our blogs often to read what we have wrote and comment to us. Buddies who will write their own blogs that we can read and comment on too. If you are interested, please comment leaving a link to your blog so that we can read your blog too!

Conference week is coming to a close. I have enjoyed spending time with all of our families. Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to meet with me. We discussed student learning goals and progress. We talked about things we have learned. While I am looking forward to getting back to our normal schedule, I have enjoyed conference this week.

Fireflies are insects. They live in meadows, woods, and gardens. They have an organ that glows. They go through a larva, pupa, and adult stage. Fireflies are interesting.
(We are working on writing a paragraph about an insect that we have researched. Be sure to read student blog posts about insects.)

We love reading workshop! We have time every day to do what readers do.... READ! First, we read by ourselves (Mrs. Forsman meets with groups) and then we do social reading. During Social Reading, we book shop, read with a partner, listen to a story on the itouch, or read on the netbooks! We have found some great articles online!
