We started today with writers' notebooks and then went to the computer lab to type the latest drafts of our pieces. Some boys left for enrichment reading. We will be in the computer again tomorrow to finish up these drafts. I'm hoping to wrap these pieces up soon so we can move on to the persuasive piece of writing.
In reading, we discussed the differences and similarities between fiction and informational print. Students worked on a Venn Diagram that we went over them in class. Students then had an opportunity to browse the informational print in my room. Log 17 is due Wednesday.
We had a spelling test today.
In science for 6F, we discussed how to take notes when reading informational print. Students worked at stations to gather information about the particles that make up matter (atoms).
Please remember the permission slips to go to HMS. We will be going Thursday so we'll need the slips before then.
