Sorry I didn't post yesterday but was super busy with fall concert rehearsals... Anyway, here's what yesterday brought us:
Fall Concert Rehearsal all morning. Indoor recess. We read Guests and found that Moss has decided to take his "away time" to figure out who he really is. In Reader's Workshop, we practiced for math, free-wrote and read silently, looking for figurative language in our independent reading book. I worked with students to use the words of literary text to answer questions. They like to put in their opinion but if the question asks for them to use details from the story, they NEED to do that. I'm not sure why they are struggling with that but we'll keep working at it. Finally, we set up a Google Doc for an ABC Ohio book that they will be making. This book is to help us get into researching.
Today, we had a normal day. We played catch up at the beginning of the day and either worked on our Science perspective writing piece or began researching Ohio for our ABC book. After gym, we took our math assessment. Woo hoo! We didn't finish, so we'll take tomorrow to finish. Students are working so hard and it is a long and difficult test. It is almost all application of skills and they are really doing a nice job with perseverance. Hopefully, their scores will match. After reading more about Moss and now Trouble in Guests, we learned more about why they are taking their "away time" which is for very similar reasons and for reasons I think all of us can relate to. After Read Aloud, we went to the computer lab to work on our ABC Ohio book.
See you at the concert tonight!
