Sorry for the lapse in time with updating my blog. I was home with an ill child for the past two days.
Guided Reading/Grammar: Today the students were given a quick assessment of their sentence structure knowledge and then had silent reading the remainder of the period. Tomorrow, those who have some struggling areas will have a chance to work one-on-one with me and my student teacher. Hopefully the extra help will clear up any confusion. Next week, this group will go back to art during Guided Reading/Grammar time.
Advanced Math: Mr. Bergemann has been teaching out of the Growing, Growing, Growing math book. There was no additional homework for today.
Debates: We finished our debates today. The debate essay directions will be on Edmodo and will be an assignment to completed for science. Mr. Sprain will formally introduce this on Monday.
NHD: Everyone's topics should now be approved, except for a few people in the last group who had me. Be sure to talk to me as soon as possible so I can give the public library a list of topics about which they can pull information to help you with your research next week.
TOMORROW: Tomorrow is our fieldtrip to Lanesboro to see the play version of the classic by Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol. We will compare and contrast this to the movie version. Comparing and contrasting two media versions of the same title is one of the Common Core Standards.
