Returning from Winter Break, we have launched into reading the award nominated books of our Illinois Monarch List! As we make our way through reading this amazing list of books, we talk about genre, theme, author's message, text features, fiction vs non-fiction, as well as learn new vocabulary. We use "turn and talks", whole class shares-outs, and Seesaw Assignments, to consider questions that come up as we read, and give our thoughts, predictions, and connections. When we've read all of the books, we'll vote in a bracket style to see who we will crown the winner of the Monarch Nominees! It will be a tough choice this year!

Teachers are students alike are having fun with the January board! Teachers sent in pictures of themselves as young elementary students, along with their favorite book as a kid! Students and teachers have to match the "now pic" to the "then pic" pic on the board. Not only has this has been enjoyed by all, but it has gotten students looking for the books their teachers enjoyed back when they were kids!
