Welcome to episode #18!

In this episode, Jen answers a question from another teacher named Jen…

“In upper elementary grades (4 and 5), is it important for students to write about a chapter book once they’ve finished it in order to do a final reflection and savor it? Or is this just drudgery? What is your advice about how to manage writing about reading when finishing an independent book, given that students finish them at different times?“
