Junie B. Jones Flex-Book Club: One-Man Band

HOORAY! It's time for the first-grade kickball tournament! Only, here's the problem. Junie B. Jones has hurt her piggy toe and she can't play on the team. Read with us to find out what she does instead!

Each class will include a short video presentation (10-15 minutes) on our chapter of the day and our activity.  I will be reading and discussing the story "Junie B.: One Man Band."  If you have the book, feel free to read along with me! After each class, students will have comprehension questions. This class provides a great opportunity to practice reading a chapter book and work on reading fluency/comprehension all at once! At the end of the book, students will create a poster or similar project to advertise the book to someone who may want to read about Junie B. Will they convince someone to read the book or tell them to stay far away from the book? 

We'll create a fun illustration each week to show what the chapter was about. Students will complete the worksheet I send out and use it to write/draw. Students will interact with the class through the discussion posts on what we learned each week. We'll also have submission threads for students to submit their work and give each other great feedback on our illustration of the week.

*Students will share their illustrations on the submission thread on the classroom page. You can do this by creating the picture on the computer or taking a picture and sharing the file.

New lessons will be uploaded on Monday and Wednesday of each week. I will expect all participants to be active in our discussions on the "classroom" page. I will facilitate and extend conversations and provide regular, consistent posts in the classroom. I will send feedback on journal entries and assignments. 
Parents will purchase the book so that the students can read along with me.
