Tuck Everlasting


This week, we are beginning a unit on Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt. At the beginning of the story, we meet Winnie. Winnie is an eleven year old girl who is faced with the choice of drinking from a spring that would allow her to live forever.

If you had the chance to stay young forever, would you take it? Why or why not?

If you did choose to drink from the spring, what age would you choose to do it? Why?

We are currently reading Hatchet by Gary Paulsen in our reading class. I know that you are really enjoying this book, just as I promised you would! One of our comprehension skills is identifying conflicts and resolutions in the plot of a story. What are some of Brian's conflicts since the plane crash? If you were Brian, what steps would you take to resolve those conflicts?

Welcome to Our Blog!

Hello fabulous fifth graders! :)

Welcome to our class blog! We will use this blog throughout the entire school year to communicate with each other. You may use our blog on your laptop at school, or you can even respond from home. I love to use the blog with students, because it helps me learn more about you. Think about other ways that blogging could help us learn more from each other. How do you think blogging might help us as fifth graders?
