Members of A303 focused in on the first body paragraph of their literary essays this morning. This important writing lesson saw the fifth graders give a brief overview of their main character and look to firmly establish the theme of their essays. I was able to conference with many writers and I was impressed with the level of discourse throughout the lesson. 

We are also approaching the conclusion of our first read aloud book of the year. By the end of the month, the kids are going to be responding to some prompts concerning the text, Wonder.
