Nicholas was our child of the day and he read us the traditional tale: The Emperor's New Clothes. As you will hear later tonight when I can get the video up on the website, the students really enjoyed it!
We made a Venn Diagram comparing and contrasting fiction and non fiction. I was very impressed about how much they know about non fiction features. This is ALL from their reading and their daily reading quilt. The quilt helps them to read in different genre's and they have response sheets to complete. They've been reading a lot of NF and working through the features, creating their own understandings. Tomorrow we will begin creating our Non Fiction Conventions Book to use when we begin writing.
We took our reading MAP test. They all did a GREAT job and we'll be getting all that information out to you as soon as we are allowed. We have our math MAP next week on the 15th for seniors and juniors will take some additional reading skills (Phonics and phonemic awareness tests).
Today in math juniors learned more about 3D shapes and symmetry. Tomorrow they have their unit 7 checking progress and seniors begin linear measurement.
Tomorrow we have music and art.
Have a GREAT night!
