JUNIOR GREAT BOOKS

The new year is upon us and I am excited to be planning for a reading opportunity for some advanced readers in kindergarten through fifth grade.  Junior Great Books will be our TAG Time topic for the next 6 weeks.  A review of literacy terms, reading excellent short stories, and utilizing  productive discussion techniques will be the main goals of our weekly meeting times.  Not only will we read and discuss a variety of stories, we will also learn and understand high level vocabulary words and complete a Million Dollar Word booklet that will be a collection of our language development.  Although this strand of TAG Time will primarily be connected to reading, Math 24 practice will be starting in fourth through seventh grade math classes and Math Competitions will be down the road.  Lots of exciting opportunities for students who are motivated to "learn beyond their limits!"
