We started our day with band and chorus today. Those not in band or chorus had a study hall.
For reading class, I showed an example of the Respond to Reading using the read aloud book. Students helped me formulate a response in the way they need to do for their own books. After that, students worked on their Day 3 activities. My small group read Stellaluna and worked with its plot line.
In writing, students got their persuasive essays back and put them into their portfolios. Then, we read about descriptive writing and began a practice activity in our writers' notebooks. Students will be writing a descriptive paragraph about an animal of their choice. If students need a photo of the animal, they are to do that tonight and bring it for tomorrow's class.
In science today for both classes we discussed "How Big Is a Cell?" We did an activity to give students and idea of this concept.
