Tuesday 3.29.11- Late Breaking!

No internet and no photo copier, but we made it through the day! Alas, this post is just going up. Hopefully, it is a reference for some of the work we've been doing together. We are deep in test prep at this point and the kids are working really hard. The biggest thing we need to keep working on is carefully reading questions and understanding what they are asking. Often, kids are missing questions not because of the skill, but because they are misreading or not fully understanding what is being asked. This is an important skill, test prep or not. I'll write more later about all of the other cool things happening in curriculum- kente project, societies....

READING: Read for at least 40 minutes. Pay attention to characters and theories you are developing about them. Thoughtfully complete your reading log.

SCHOLASTIC NEWS: Redo/rewrite the sentences on your handout for the short answer questions. Use words from the questions in your answers (just like we did together in class for the short answer questions about Death Valley).

WRITING: Read Spaghetti and complete the handout about cause/effect and main idea/detail.

MATH: Packet

Welcome back Sarah!

See you tomorrow at SING!
