I hope everyone had a great weekend! Here's what we did today:
Reading-Students chose their new literature circle book. We will be using edmodo.com to share thoughts about the books. It should be up and running in the next day or two. Students also visited the library.
Math-We reviewed Chapter 23 on probability.
Social Studies-We discussed our national government including the three branches and checks and balances.
Word Study-We are back to groups! Instead of a contract students will complete a dice activity with their words. Also, their lists will be made up of 12 words based on the principle we are working on and 5 high frequency words. 4 secret words based on the principle will be on the test as well. Today, groups 1 and 2 got their words. Groups 3 and 4 will get their words tomorrow.
Homework:
Reading-Literature circles meet on Thursday.
Writing-For the remainder of the year, students will need to complete at least three Writer's Notebook entries per week. They should spend at least ten minutes on one entry and I'd like to see a variety of different genres of writing. Their notebook is where they should be exploring new forms of writing and trying new things!
**Please remember to send in the field trip forms and $ when you can. Thanks!
Have a great night!
