While grades 7 & 8 prepare for exams, grades 5 and 6 have been concluding the year with novel studies. Grade 6 students are reading A Wrinkle in Time and Grade 5s have read Frindle and Bridge to Terabithia.

For Bridge to Terabithia, grade 5s are doing Book Report Bingo projects. Each team is to complete four activities: One creative writing, two creative interpretation / arts activities, and one analytical activity. These activities are related to setting, plot, and character development; and are meant to extend the students’ reading beyond the book

All projects will be posted to your student’s blog – please check them out! Below is one example from each group. Projects are due Friday, June 3rd at the end of class.
