Monday - December 14th

Today students in readers' workshop, wrote about their book club books.  They wrote a claim about a character in their book. (i.e. In the book, Holes by Louis Sachar, Stanley is brave.)  Then using reasoning and evidence from the text, they proved their claim to be true.  One added strategy students have learned is using a direct quote from the text.

In word study, students learned about a Tier II word; SEIZED.  Students had to draw a picture, write a sentence, and define the word.  Eventually I will be quizzing them on these new words!

In science and math, we are reviewing for BA.  Math BA is on Wednesday of this week and the Science BA is on Friday of this week.
