We made it! Our class CRUSHED the literacy SAGE tests and for the last couple weeks of school, we are reading an awesome mystery book called The Westing Game in book clubs. First we learned a little about what mystery genre books are like and about the Stock Market (because Ms. Bad said it would be a part of the book, but we haven't gotten there yet I think...). Each book club member has certain jobs every day we read in class, including things like Question Master, Discussion Director, Visualizer, Word Watcher, Summarizer, and Connections Captain. We read certain chapters per day, then do a one of those jobs according to our group's schedule. We also have a character map that we write down clues and connections between characters to figure out who killed Sam Westing! It's been fun to find the clues and figure out what's going on in this crazy book!
