We wrote in our writers' notebooks this morning to start our writing class. After that, I did a lesson on capitals in the appropriate places and end punctuation. Students looked for these in their second drafts. We went to the computer lab to type our rough drafts. Writers' Notebooks are due tomorrow.
In reading today, we are almost done with The Crazy Man. Unfortunately, students will have to wait until Tuesday to hear the ending, due to NECAP testing. I showed a picture and we made an inference based on that picture. My lesson today was about the difference between observation and inference. We talked about all the things in the picture that were observations. Then, I had them use all of those observations to form an inference, adding in their prior knowledge to the textual clues. After this, we met in groups, did individual conferences, read to self, or responding to reading on the blog. Reading logs are due Tuesday. Students need to keep reading their Celebrate Our Differences book. This unit will end next week.
In 6F science, we carried out the Penny Lab that we set up yesterday. Students need to write their conclusions for Tuesday. The 3 Variables paper is due tomorrow for both classes.
