Today, we met in our book groups to decide deadlines for our Avi books. Students are being encouraged to read as many Avi books as they can during this unit. The unit itself will last until the end of May. I also modeled metacognition while Mrs. Bewersdorf read aloud a short story by Avi.
In spelling today, we went over words that have the /s/ sound. Students had brainstormed a list prior to this class and we talked a lot about letters that make this sound.
In science, we talked more about genetics and vocabulary that goes with it. Also, we began a lab to look at whether traits with dominant alleles show more than the traits with recessive alleles when it comes to our classmates. We didn't finish this lab but will the next time we have science.
