It's Time to Kick It Up a Notch!

I am SO excited! I have had this idea floating in my brain for over a year, and I've finally put it down on paper! I have created a reading journal to go along with a chapter book for my high-level reading group, and I can't wait to get started on it!  I get a lot of gifted children in my class because I like to do fun and challenging activities with them. They love reading the Magic School Bus Chapter books, but I don't like to just read and move on. I created this journal using Bloom's taxonomy so it will challenge the kids to higher-level thinking skills. I can assign 2 chapters a day, and they can complete the pages as they read and then share them during reading group time. I'm anxious to get started, and if it works well, I will be creating more journals very soon, so STAY TUNED!
