Thursday

We worked in our writers'  notebooks this morning, completing a prompt by request of the Team of Tomorrow.   I then did a lesson on endings.  We learned that there are four types of endings: humorous, emotional, circular, and surprise.  Students revised their pieces to be one of these endings.  We will work with this more tomorrow.

In reading this morning, we had a quiz on the nonfiction conventions.  I have not passed out a new reading log yet.  I will do that tomorrow and it will be due on February 11.

In science (6F), we watched Bill Nye the Science Guy about Chemical Reactions and Phases of Matter.

Students received progress reports today.
