Friday, April 2, 2010

I was out sick on this day, but wanted to let you know what we did anyway. We started the day with our writer's notebooks. We all wrote one entry in there. Then, we looked at the sentence fluency rubric. Students looked at two writing pieces and scored them together for the trait of sentence fluency. Finally, we did an organization activity where students put together a piece of writing that was cut into sentence strips. Teams worked together to put the sentences in the correct order. I would like final drafts of their free choice piece by Friday, April 9.

In reading we worked on an activity that looked at the unique vocabulary that The Last Book in the Universe used. Students found vocabulary and defined it based on how it was used in the book. Students need to remember that their logs are due on Tuesday. Also, they need to do a book talk before May 1.

In science, 6F did what 6S did on Thursday. Please see April 1 blog for that. There is a quiz on cells on Wednesday.
