Mrs. Beedy
5th Grade Reading
Welcome to 5th grade reading :)
I'm very excited to start this journey with your student this year. I have a passion for reading and I love instilling the same passion for reading in my students. This year we will be doing many exciting things in reading. It is very important for your students to practice their reading at home. Please encourage your student to read while at home. Take a part in their learning and have them read aloud to you. :)
A little about Mrs. Beedy
Teaching reading is my dream job and I love coming to work everyday to share my love for reading with my students. I am very excited to have the opportunity to get to know you and your student. I have many exciting things planned this year for our class. As we go through the year we will read several novels together.
We will start the year with a book written by James Patterson called Middle School the Worst Years of My Life. I'm very excited about this book because James Patterson is an adult author, but has recently started writing middle school books. There is a movie coming out in October that will follow the book. I'm very excited to tell you that we will get the opportunity to go see the movie after we finish the book. Feel free to read the book along with us and talk to your student about the novel.
Other novels we will read in class.
Number the Stars-First semester
Among the Hidden- Second semester
Harry Potter- Second semester
Gregor the Overlander- Second semester
About Middle School the Worst Years of My Life
- Fought and overcame a diabolical teacher called the Dragon Lady.
- Sold my soul to the school bully, a dollar at a time.
- Wrestled with a real live bear, repeatedly.
- Fell kind of in "like" with the most popular girl in school.
- Went into the soda business and went bust.
- And accidentlally-on-purpose hurt all the people I care about.
The worst days of my life were good sometimes.
Bad sometimes.
But mostly they were hilarious.
See for your self in Middle School the Worst Years of My Life
