Welcome Back!!!!!
We are officially up and running! We have started Module 1 of our reading program called Expeditionary Learning. The program is broken down into 4 modules with each model containing three units. The Expeditionary Learning model challenges students to think critically and take active roles in their classrooms and communities, resulting in higher achievement and greater engagement in school.
Module 1 uses literature and informational text such as, My Librarian is a Camel, to introduce students to the power of literacy and how people around the world access books. This module is intentionally designed to encourage students to embrace a love of literacy and reading. In our first unit students will begin to develop their close reading skills. Students will examine the main message (gist) in literature about individuals and groups from world communities (including the United States) who have gone to great lengths to access education. Below are some of the books we will be reading in Unit 1! I truly hope you will enjoy these books as much as we do!
