Today is the day!!! We will finish reading 'The Giver'! After reading we will complete another choice board. There are only 2 more meeting days after today for High Flyers this year! Next week each group will complete a group project over 'The Giver'. Our last day will be Monday, May 16, due to the third grade field trip. On our last day we will be watching the movie, 'The Giver' and I will be providing lunch.

We are just over half way through the book! I love seeing the excitement on their faces as they are reading this story. There is nothing better than reading the assigned chapters and then hearing, 'Can't we keep reading!"

Earlier this week I sent out an email about Gifted Family Day in Kansas City. If you and your family are able to attend this, I think it would be an amazing opportunity! The link below will give you all the details.

We have read the first five chapters in "The Giver". The kids are really enjoying the story so far. Tomorrow we will read Chapters 6-10 and complete three activities on a novel choice board. These activities include drawing a picture of a scene, write a poem, draw a comic strip showing a scene, and some six activities to choose from.
