Truth About Dragons

Our very first podcast is finally finished! This is our first attempt as a class and hopefully will be the first of many different podcasts to come.

Our class completed a unit on dragons in our basal readers which consisted of 3 stories. The following podcast is a summary of our experiences with dragons. This particular story was used when we were practicing the text structure and skill of compare/contrast.

Below is a graphic organizer that you can use while listening to the podcast. Our goal was to see the differences between Eastern and Western dragons.

OSCAR Blog

Welcome to the our blog dedicated to our reading class. Our reading time is called OSCAR, which stands for Our School Cares About Reading. We will refer to this as our OSCAR reading group most of the time. We ask you to subscribe to our podcasts and hear and experience what we've been reading about and learning in our group. Our plan is to include downloadable printables to use in your classroom. Have fun and read, read, read!
