Monday

The time change has affected us all!  We were a sleepy bunch today!

To start the day, we did a CBM in our writers' notebooks.  I did a lesson on endings for our persuasive essays.  We then went to the computer lab to work on these.  They are due Friday.

In reading, we read aloud and I demonstrated how to complete the Respond to Reading with the read aloud book.  Students then worked independently on their Day 3 activities.  I passed out new reading logs today.  These are due Monday, March 21.

Spelling consisted of a quick review of plural rules.  Students worked on an activity finding words that apply to the different rules.  There is a Take Home Task due Thursday.

In science, we assembled our cubes.  Then we worked on riddles involving the Periodic Table of Elements and did a few word searches.  The word searches are extra credit.
