We have worked in groups a lot this year in Music, composing and recording songs on various instruments.  I feel I have worked well as part of a team and even had the chance to lead the team in our work.  Writing the words for the songs has taught me to listen to others as well as to encourage some.  This has also helped boost my confidence in my writing skills and showed me that I can apply my literacy skills in other areas.

In reading I am beginning to read more books. This was one of my targets and I have done well to achieve it. I really like books by Cathy Cassidy because they are about things that happen to people in real life and help me understand about these things more. Reciprocal reading has helped me to improve my clarifying and that helps me understand harder texts. I am getting really good at making inferential questions about things I read that challenge other people in my class and make them think outside the box.
