Wednesday, December 18

I'm out today so hopefully the kids will say that they had a good day. Here is what I hope happened:
In Social Studies, they worked more with the Northwest Territory. Now that they know how to become a state, they are working toward getting all the necessary prerequisites. In Math, today was the last day to work on their Fraction Story Games. If they didn't finish, they are probably working on it at home. There is also an assessment tomorrow that they should be practicing for... I'm sure it was indoor recess again and for Read Aloud, the sub read Auntie Claus to them-a very cute Christmas read. In Reader's Workshop, I had them reading independently, creating new words from a holiday word and reviewing inferences by being Santa's Sleuth! Students had to look over 7 comic strips about a boy and email Santa, as one of his elves, to let him know if the boy should be on the naughty or nice list. After the 7th day, they have to write a final letter to Santa for their overall opinion on the boy. I hope they are having fun with this activity! Finally, they finished revising and editing their persuasive letters. We will be printing and publishing them tomorrow and then you'll be able to read them and hopefully, will be persuaded!
