Mysteries!

We have completed the whole class read aloud mystery, Lucky Lottery by Ron Roy. The students loved the book and we had MANY opportunities for shared thinking and discussion about features of mysteries.
Students have now moved into just right reading groups to more closely read and discuss a mystery with the support of other classmates. We will work in these groups for about a week and then each student will take on his/her own mystery book to apply all that has been learned and practiced in whole group and small group reading. These are the five book that we are sharing in 6 groups.

I have copied 2 anchor charts. These serve as the basis for our discussion in whole class and small group.  These questions can help you "speak the same language" when you and your child are discussing any mystery! Happy Sleuthing!
