Wednesday

Here we are half way through the week!  Time is flying!

In reading today, we discussed the "expression" part of fluency.  I shared a few passages from our read aloud and talked about the different expression a reader uses depending on punctuation and types of print.  We worked independently for the second part of class.

In writing, we explored different types of leads.  Students looked at their pieces of writing and categorized the type of lead it is.  We will work with this more tomorrow.

Students also signed up for the next round of community clubs.  They will start next week.

In science, we worked on measuring volume using beakers and graduated cylinders.  Fun stuff!
