Wednesday, February 24

Today students worked on a performance task during writers' workshop. This task simulates what students have to do independently on the M-step (the state test that will at the end of April/beginning of May). This task is also based on the opinion writing unit that we are currently finishing.  Your child has to take take a stand on an issue (should only service dogs be permitted in public places?), use two articles and 1 video to support their claim with evidence and reasoning, and write an opinion article in multiple paragraphs.  

Below is a video students put together in the fall. We were working on reading fluency and students practiced read aloud strategies using our read aloud book Goblins in the Castle. I FINALLY have it online to view:
