This class is designed to  bolster reading, and writing skills for upper elementary and incoming sixth graders. I will use a literature circle type of instruction, using depth and complexity strategies with current novels for incoming fifth graders, and the required reading for the incoming sixth graders. Sixth graders will complete both novels, as well as their summer reading packet, and we will work on writing and citation  skills to prepare them for the middle school. Upper elementary students will work on reading, writing  and research standards based on their novels. We will also incorporate fun activities such as reader's theater, various reading games, play writing, and using google slides and google docs.
