Chocolate Talk at West
3rd-grade students at West enjoy non-fiction reading and a treat.
This is a time when students receive a Scholastic News along with hot chocolate and a Honeybun. This is kind of a throw back to a parent sitting at the table reading the newspaper and drinking coffee.
The purpose of reading Scholastic News is to make a fun and unique way of teaching students more about how to recognize and identify non-fiction text features. This is always a struggle for third graders, so we decided to change up the way we taught this concept. It also builds confidence in students with reading non-fiction.
Chocolate Talk happens every Friday in Mrs Kooyer's classroom!
