Today was a soggy day of indoor recess. Just a quick note that papers are going home today. Included in those papers is a permission slip to go to the movie African Cats on April 22. Due to the awesome fundraiser, nobody needs to pay money for the trip! Woo Hoo! Please send back the permission slip as soon as possible.
In reading today, we worked on Day 4 activities. I did a short lesson on theme. Tomorrow is the last day of this 5 day rotation and we will conclude the unit on Story Elements on Friday with a test.
Writing today was a hodge-podge of things. We began with time to write in our writers' notebooks. We then did a CBM (timed writing to a prompt) and proceeded into a lesson on helping verbs.
Science class brought us time to work on the four stations about cells. I would like these to be done by April 22. Students should use the extra Guided Study times to work on them if they don't finish today.
