Neel was our child of the day and read Jordan's Lucky Day! Take a look at his video later on tonight on the website.
We also had a mystery reader: Ryan's Mom! Ryan was surprised, but he had a feeling it might be her! Thanks for coming in and reading to the kids....they LOVED it!
We began our comprehension strategy study of synthesis today. We begin with summarizing, and will continue this week with it. But, synthesis is more than summarizing, a step beyond. More about that later.
We began our new vocabulary unit today. In the mail today is a list of the words and their definitions. Try using them in conversations whenever possible.
I used Asia as an example of how to look for important information in notetaking. Tomorrow I will model again how to sort and put the notes under the correct headings. After we sort, we can identify where we need more information.
Then the students went off taking notes on their weather event they are researching. Thank you Alyssa for doing research on Tornadoes over the weekend. I've made copies for those students with the same topic. Thank you!!!
In math, Juniors worked on equal shares and Seniors worked on measuring longer lengths and areas. Then they work together as a team on the math menu.
