I hope you can all get to the science fair tonight. We have lots of kids showing from Team Energy.
Today we started the new and improved word study groups. After an assessment on Monday, Ms. Lamb rearranged the groups. We now have four groups.
We have shortened word study by reducing the sentences. The hope is we get through more lessons and apply our sentence writing to vocabulary, which we will start on Monday.
We listened to chapter two of One Safe Place (it's pretty ominous so far) and The Secret Gardener chapter three (just curious so far and maybe a little fairy tale like).
In social studies we began our short (two week) study of Beethoven and music related to a grant Ms. Frank received. I'm meeting with Ms. Frank tomorrow to get the details. We watched the beginning of a biography. He was an interesting and complex man. Next week we will do some listening and writing. We will write a composed response and POETRY! YAY!
Tonight's homework:
If you are presenting (yourself, not just your partner) at the science fair, you have the night off from journal writing and reading. If you are not presenting
Current events
Read
Everyone complete second sort for word study and explain categories. Tomorrow we will complete blind sort with a partner in class before library time.
Remember we are trying to read as many DCF books, past present and next year, as we possibly can before May 30th. This is a challenge folks.
