Wednesday and Thursday

Sorry for not updating the blog yesterday.  It was a busy day to say the least.  Most of our day yesterday was continuing on with what we've been doing this week.  In reading, we did day 3 of stations.  In writing, we continued the persuasive essays.  In science, we worked on researching our elements.

Today, Thursday, we had a small break from the stations.  Mrs. Meserve came in a did reading fluency videos (thank you!).  Students had time to catch up on any station that they needed to during class.  We will finish these tomorrow.

In writing, I asked students to produce their body paragraphs for their persuasive essays. We talked about topic sentences, detail sentences and closing sentences.  Some students need to continue their research, but most are in a good place with this.  The work continues on Monday after break. 

Today is the last science class for 6F to finish their research on their elements.  We will work on our citations when we return from break.  The cubes will be put together then as well.
