Getting Excited About Non-Fiction!

Fifth grade students in Mrs. Jennifer Tillman's class at Harbor View Elementary are getting excited about non-fiction!  I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with this wonderful class as Mrs. Tillman helped to set them up and expose them to Newsela.com.  The students were extremely excited to be reading and completing assignments digitally.  Mrs. Tillman is able to use this site to monitor her students' progress through the articles, and because the students can choose which Lexile the article is written in, the teacher no longer has to  provide differentiated reading passages from numerous resources.  I'm looking forward to getting back to Harbor View as these digital citizens continue to grow!!
