Engaging Book<br />
Reports<br />
Book reports are considered one of the main<br />
activities in our English program. They help<br />
stud<strong>en</strong>ts learn more vocabulary and develop<br />
reading skills. They also have the chance of<br />
giving their opinions, analyzing the characters<br />
and the plot while learning important<br />
values.<br />
This year fifth graders showed their creativity<br />
by making a power point pres<strong>en</strong>tation<br />
including the title of the book, information<br />
about the author, the characters, the setting,<br />
but also the problem, three reasons explaining<br />
why it would be a good idea to make a<br />
movie about this book, a song that could be<br />
included in the film and a message.<br />

Traditions<br />
Fifth graders explored traditions from all<br />
around the world. Some par<strong>en</strong>ts came to the<br />
school to share information from differ<strong>en</strong>t<br />
countries. We want to give special thanks to:<br />
Gisela Cruz (Rodrigo Ruiz’s mom), Lesley Lee<br />
(Jazmín Fernández- Baca’s mom) and Tania<br />
Pacheco (Kaelyn Pacheco’s mom) who shared<br />
important information about China, Britain,<br />
India and the United States. After getting<br />
to know differ<strong>en</strong>t traditions the stud<strong>en</strong>ts<br />
chose one them, gathered information and<br />
followed the writing steps to write an informative<br />
text about amazing traditions.<br />
