Ruby Tuesday

Another busy day was had by all in 6F! In writing, we started the day with our last published piece. I asked students to choose a wordless picture book to read. Their writing task is to write the words that would go with the pictures. Rough drafts are due by Friday.

In reading, we read aloud and discussed The Man Who Was Poe. This book is a typical mystery with many clues dropped along the way. It's really important to process all of the clues in order to understand the story. After read aloud, students met in their book groups to discuss the reading thusfar. A new deadline had been assigned for next Tuesday. A response paper needs to be written by this time too.

6F got a chance to work on their science analogy posters. These are due Thursday for 6S and Friday for 6F.

Please remember permission slips for The Mighty movie as well as Red River field trip.
