Another GREAT day!

Today students worked hard on their nonfiction writing. We are learning how to add VOICE to our writing.  For example, students are varying the length of their sentences, choosing a more precise word, writing nonfiction with analogies and comparisons, and adding questions for the reader.  Overall students are turning boring facts into a well crafted Non-Fiction report.

In readers' workshop, book clubs have finished. Students are working hard to tell the story of their book club book through a Movie Trailer.  Each group will be done by Friday, and I'll post their projects here.

In science, students wrote an observation about their terrariums.
