Two More Mondays Left!

It's hard to believe but we only have two more Mondays left after today! There is still so much to do in the time we have left!

This morning we started the day with spelling games. Students played Bananagrams, Quiddler and Word Flip.

During reading, we read aloud and I discussed the next paper that is due tomorrow. Students need to summarize their Avi books up to this point and write a response that answers the following question: Has Avi kept your interest up to this point in the novel? They need to give three examples or reasons to support their opinions in their papers.

Final portfolios are due June 15
Genre Bingo is due June 16

In writing, we played a game where students tried to figure out reasons for adding commas in sentences. They held up cards as I showed sentences with commas in them.

During 6S science, students worked on their analogy posters. These are due on Thursday. I will give students Wednesday's class to work and what they don't finish will be homework. 6F's will be due on Friday.
