September Book Report

September Book Report

Sample Book Report

Many of you have been looking at the book report assignment that the children will be turning in on Thursday, October 4th.  (I moved the date back a week to give them more time!) A fantasy is a fictional story where there is a struggle between good and evil that often involves magic or creatures that don't exist in real life.  The characters or objects do things that couldn't happen in real life. Adventure stories have a character who lives by his wits and skills and is constantly placed in dangerous situations.  An adventure story may or may not be fantasy, since there are nonfiction adventures, as well.

The students may use books at Altara's library or any other location.  They should choose books they haven't read before that are appropriate for their reading levels (not too hard or too easy).

Use toys or other objects in your container.

Remember to check the rubric in your homework folder for instructions.  If you have any questions or concerns about the book report requirements, feel free to contact me.  Happy Reading!

What a great class! We are really bonding and working well together as a class. I'm so sorry about the reading calendars. They have the wrong dates on them. It slipped right past all the 3rd grade teachers and the copy aides! Please just make sure you are reading 100 minutes a week and fill out the calendar for the month. I will try to get the calendars changed by October. Thank you to everyone who signed up to help in the classroom. Our class wouldn't be the same without you!
