Wow, this week is flying by! The last day of March has been a busy one!
We began our day in the computer lab working on the Avatar lesson from yesterday. Students pulled up their saved Avatar as well as a Word document. They then proceeded to describe in detail their Avatars. When they felt good about their description, they gave the written piece to someone. That person then built the Avatar based on the writing. We are not quite finished, but the lesson here is a good one. It is difficult to describe something in such close detail. Hopefully, this will transfer throughout our unit on descriptive writing.
In reading today, we finished A Day of Tears! It was a book that provided great points of discussion about slavery but more importantly how human beings should treat other human beings, no matter what. Students worked on Day 3 activities. Respond to Reading is due no later than Tuesday.
We learned about cell organelles in science today. Students finished up their graphic organizers with this information. We will be having a quiz on the cell parts soon.
