Monday

We had a bit of a zigger-zagger day today.  This morning, instead of writing, we did reading.  Introduced the idea of point of view in fiction writing.  Students should be thinking about what point of view their books are told in.  We began talking about the difference between first person and third person.  Also, we discussed the three different types of third person point of view:  omniscient, limited omniscient and camera view.  I will do lessons on these throughout the week.

We had a pretty powerful presentation this morning from a DEA officer.  Ms. Wardell will be de-briefing with my class during health today.

We also had the opportunity for an extra art class today.  Mrs. Emerson will take our class for the next 4 weeks to work on masks.  Very cool!

In science (6F), we looked at an animal cell digitally and drew it.  Then, we brainstormed language that we'd use to describe the plant cell as well as the animal cell were we to describe them.  Students are responsible for writing a descriptive paragraph about ONE of the cells that they drew.  These are due Wednesday.

If anyone can, I'm getting low on my supply of anti-bacterial wipes.  We use these to wipe the tables after snack time everyday.  THANK YOU!
