Our class is on a Reading Safari! The students are allowed an opportunity to sign out a story kit from Thursday through Monday. Included in the kit is a book, a themed manipulative, and a journal. The students are asked to take an A.R. test upon return of the bag. In addition, they are to write a journal response to the book.
Students and families, you have had a chance to take a trip or two on our Reading Safari. Please share your thoughts on this activity. I would also like to know which book you have recently borrowed and share with us your feelings about this book.
