Tuesday

Today is day 2 for fluency stations.  I did a mini-lesson on how punctuation and special print changes our expression.  We toyed around with this using examples on the overhead.  After that, students practiced their fluency with some You Read to Me, I'll Read to You books.  They partner read these books.  FUN!

In writing, we plugged along with our research on persuasive essays.  I showed an example of an essay and we talked about its parts.  Some students began writing body paragraphs. 

Science for 6S was the same as yesterday for 6F.  We are having a quiz tomorrow on the elements and their symbols.
