Thrills from Tuesday



Jacob was our child of the day and he read Jordan Has a Big Day. What a great job he did. Check out his video on the website under child of the day 2.

We worked on summarizing, a step before synthesizing, by summarizing the story of Hansel and Gretel. We created a story map but we used it as a tool so that we could retell in our own words.

During word work we played one of our Academic Jeopardy games. You can access this games by going to the website, click on games, then click on the vocabulary game you want to play. When you open it, a box will appear, click open to play or save if you want to save it to your computer.

I modeled how to sort notes and determine headings for our expository writing as we learned about Asia. Students continued taking notes on their weather topic. A few began sorting their notes under headings.

During math juniors worked on fractions and seniors worked on area.

If you did not return your pictures, please do so no later than tomorrow.
