In this round of lessons for 5th grade students we practiced note-taking and citing sources with a nonfiction book. Students began the lesson with a book bundle about one animal containing one fiction and one nonfiction book. After a quick review video about fiction vs nonfiction, student groups kept only their nonfiction animal book. Students then viewed a sample expectation for what they would be creating through a program called padlet. Prior to taking notes on their padlet about their animal, groups learned about easybib.com as a citing resource and entered in the necessary information in order to create their bibliography. The slideshow below shows a few examples from student groups in Mrs. King's class. Mrs. Dressman and Miss Hertlein's students will be completing this activity in the upcoming weeks as well.

On Monday, students at Langston Hughes celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday by participating in Read Across America. For this special event, many guest readers were kind enough to volunteer their time by coming in and reading to our 23 classes. Our students enjoyed celebrating and participating in this special day. A big thank you to all of the school board members, tosas, and district personnel and administrators that came in to read! You made Read Across America an amazing event for all of our classes! Mrs. Heider and Miss Lohrenz's kinder classes also participated in a week long unit of activities where students completed various math, language arts, and creation stations based on various books by Dr. Seuss. Students had a great time!
