Today, we discussed our Daily 5 Language Arts program. Everyone was given a handout detailing the five activities outlines in the program. We spent some time talking about Word Work and the novels that we will be reading. Please go over that handout so that you are familiar with all of the parts of the program. (It will become clearer as we go through the week, as well.)
This afternoon, we had the first of six blocks which will be devoted to working on our Early Humans projects. Remember, the criteria is to use your time well during this time and to create an authentic project that shows your learning (cite your sources, please).
Our class will be participating in an oral storytelling workshop. Our first class will be this Wednesday. As a beginning exercise, students need to come to school with a personal anecdote from their life to share orally.
Reminders:
- gym strip for tomorrow
- work for 30 minutes on your Social Studies project
- enjoy your 30 minutes of choice reading
