I have felt lately that my fourth-graders who are a part of my literature circle have become bored or simply not challenged. Because this is an enrichment group I knew I had to change things up and really change them. In order to do this I came up with Mr. Baker’s Book Blog. http://mrbakersbookblog.weebly.com/
This site will have a variety of different uses. I will use it to post student work but also as a discussion board to extend on what we talk and read about. I also hope to use it in order to keep more of a consistent schedule for my student while I am away for testing and after May because I am not sure how my role will change. By building the routine now It is my hope that the student will continue their literature circle even if I am not present in the classroom.
