We are currently reading the book The Secret Garden for literacy enrichment and creating art projects, acrylic on canvas paintings related to the chapters of the story. Students are enjoying the book/story and are excited to get to create corresponding art projects. These art projects not only introduce students to the arts but also encourage their own imagination. Students take home and bring back their painting supplies so they can work on them at home as well. \r\n\r\nStudents are encouraged to imagine the scenes of the chapters of The Secret Garden and then encouraged to decide what they would like to paint from their own imagination from the story, they will have the opportunity to paint, hopefully, several paintings. Students are learning new and historical vocabulary from the context of the book that also includes opportunities to discuss cultural histories and ethnicities.

They're grateful the dictionaries are smaller and easier to handle than the previous ones.\r\nCertain assignments require the dictionary to find words with specific prefixes and suffixes. The students like to make it a game to see who can find the most words in a certain time limit. They also use the dictionaries to see the syllable break when we decode words.\r\nA few students take the initiative and ask to look something up in the dictionary during small group. The next step is to encourage more students to do the same. A physical dictionary has taught students how to navigate the pages to find the word(s) they need.
