Don't forget that tomorrow is C-Time. There will be activities for kids here at the normal time but we will not start teaching until 8:55.
We had Picture Day today, so some reading and math time got interrupted. During reading, I went over the rubric for how the responses to reading will be scored. Students got a chance to either Read to Self or Respond to Reading on the class blog. 2 hours and vocab. is due on Tuesday Students need to keep reading to their deadlines and using sticky notes.
In science today, many students were out of the classroom due to Peer Mediation/Peer Leader training. We did another activity with hypothesizing. Students made an educated guess about how many drops of water would fit on a penny. Then they tested out their hypothesis to see if it was correct.
In writing, we did a lesson on Show and Not Tell. I put a telling sentence on the board and students copied it into their notebooks. Then we brainstormed together words and phrases they would use to show this sentence rather than tell it. Next, students wrote in their notebooks a paragraph of showing and not telling. We will apply this to our personal narrative pieces on Monday.
