Thursday

We started our day working on the leads to our pieces of writing.  Students did some nice revision.  3 pages in their notebooks are due tomorrow.

In reading, we are almost finished The Shadow Club!  It's very exciting!  We talked about pace or rate as we read aloud.  I modeled a passage of reading slowly and reading quickly.  We are learning that comprehension is directly related to reading fluency.   Students worked on the Weekly Five during independent time.

In 6F science, we did an awesome activity practicing our accuracy with measuring volume. We made the rainbow spectrum with colored water.  The table for this activity is due Monday.
