Dear Parents,

Today, we started with students doing partner reading and drawing their observations of their plant. Then, students did their Weekend Journal Outlines. Their task is to write about: if they had 3 wishes, what would they be and why. They are not allowed to wish for more wishes or more genies, etc. Students should aim for 1.5 pages to 2 at this point in the year in order to elaborate on their ideas. Then, we had a hold & secure drill in the classroom and we watched our class movie because the students reached 50 points for the home reading program! Yay!

After recess, students worked on their new Daily 5 reading/work:

Red Group: Read to Book’s End.

Orange Group: Quiz Time (Ch. 7 & 8) & Quiz Time (Ch. 9 & 10)

Yellow Group: The Ultimate Meal + Such Worries

This is due on Monday if students have not finished in class.

Then, students did Typing and then had the option to switch to coding at 11:30 and then do the Wordle at 11:45.

Following lunch, students did a quiet activity and then worked on their stories. Again, their stories are due on Tuesday and will be marked then.

Then, we played a word association game and had community time.

Reminders: Weekend Journal due Monday, Daily 5 work/reading, and Read 30 minutes today 🙂

Have a great weekend!

Sincerely,

Ms. Wilks
