Tuesday

We're working on portfolio updates today in reading class.  These are due by Friday at the latest.  Students started calculating weekly page averages and totals of books read the week before vacation.  Now, they are reflecting on their progress as readers for their portfolio, using their reading logs as proof of this progress.  We spent time today in the computer lab typing our reflections.

In writing, we are focusing on transitions between paragraphs as well as our introductory paragraphs for the persuasive essays.  Lots of hard work is going into these essays!

6S science did the lesson from yesterday (6F science).  Please see that blog.
