Happy Friday! We started back in our math groups this morning. We are getting the sixth graders ready for those NECAP tests which will take place 2 weeks from today. My group worked on strategies for answering open ended questions.
Read aloud is what we did first in reading today. I then asked students to use their Celebrate our Differences books and analyze the main character of the story. They needed to pick out parts of the book that show how the author develops that character. This was a difficult activity for most children to do. I think this will be the center of our group discussions about the books next week. Some students had time for the blog, others did not. We will continue our work on the blog next week.
In 6S/B science class, we did the same activity as yesterday. Please see yesterday's blog for the scoop there.
We ended the soggy day with Community Clubs. FUN! Have a fabulous weekend!
