Choosing the Right Opening

Today in Writers' Workshop, we tried different ways to begin our fictional writing.  Students learned that authors make choices of how they want to begin a piece of writing depending on the goal of their piece.  There are so many ways to begin, however we learned 6 different ways.  When students tried a certain opening, they wrote their name next to the opening they incorporated into their fictional story.

In Readers' Workshop, we read a book called Two Bad Ants.  We focused on point of view and inferencing. Students had time to read and practice the strategies in their own independent reading books. 

The Science BA will be on Thursday afternoon.  Students have a completed study guide which will help them study for the test.  We talked about studying a little every night, instead of waiting until Wednesday night to study.

Homework:
-30 minutes of  reading
-Study Link
-Study for Science BA (Thursday)

Reminder:
-No school tomorrow (Tuesday)
