,Week 3 was wonderful! We had lots of fun continuing to explore how to contribute to the common good and what kinds of character traits good citizens portray through our first IB unit. Please continue to work with your students to transition from learning to read to reading to learn. As we continue to dive deeper into our reading standards, please be sure to ask deep and probing questions about what they are reading. Things that are deeper than "who are the characters?" and "what is the setting?". Instead, you can ask them things like "What character traits does the character portray and how do you know?" This type of deeper questioning will take their reading to the next level! Keep up the great work and have a wonderful weekend :)
