Anchor Charts and Characters

It has been an exciting start to the year in 4th grade! We are reading The Tiger Rising. In this unit students focus on interpreting characters and looking at the heart of the story. We also establish and practice our new routines for reading workshop. We have been working on reading intensely and finding books that we want to read. Students created anchor charts for our classroom to serve as a reminder to find a ‘just right’ book, to spread ideas about really good books, and to keep our library organized. We will start practicing skills like synthesizing and envisioning in upcoming weeks.
