Character Study

Over the past few weeks, we have learned how to build theories about characters. Below are the questions and ideas that we used for this assignment. 
 What are the character's traits? 
What does the character do and say that helps you to decide who they are as person? Find evidence in the text to support your thinking.
How would the story be different if the character was different?

We have also talked about how our own actions and words let others know who we are as people.
What kind of character do you want to be?
We will continue to discuss these ideas throughout the school year. 
We hope you enjoy our characters. 


   
As we presented we shared the title of the book, the traits of our character and the evidence that proves the character's trait. We also gave a book recommendation. Everyone did a fabulous job! We look forward to becoming even better at presenting our work and sharing our learning with each other. 

Describe characters in a story (e.g., their traits, motivations, or feelings) and explain how their actions contribute to the sequence of events.

A September to Remember


Please enjoy the video below as a window into our classroom in September. 

You will see that we are working as a team to learn, explore, investigate and share our thinking. We have established routines and rules to help create a safe and fun learning environment. We are using effective effort and role model behaviors. 

Thank you Team Jordan families for your continued support to help us as we grow socially and academically.
