 We are excited at the beginning of this year in fifth grade reading
class to offer a Web Quest proving the need for and importance of reading.
The students research on the computers to find various opinions about
why reading is so important in so many people’s lives. They give an
oral presentation with their partner in class about the need of reading
for all of us. We will be on the computers over and over this year and
have a wealth of different information to look forward to learning on
various levels! We are using the Holt, Rinehart, and Winston Elements
of Literature text with its interesting stories. One of the first
novels we will read will be the delightful book, Stone Fox, by John
Reynolds Gardiner. We will get to make edible sleds and see the movie
similar to the book after reading it. Opportunities to experience the
joy of reading will prevail with the wonderful technology, good books,
and classroom learning opportunities. This year we will be reading books monthly and working with the Accelerated Reader after reading the student’s chosen book. We plan to read a book a month with the first being read in October. The students are greatly encouraged to read at every level. You might find this website that corresponds with our text book interesting, www.go.hrw.com.
