Columbus Day!
Language Arts:
Since today was our long morning in Language Arts, we were able to get a lot accomplished. We read and discussed chapters 12 and 13 of our novel study. We worked both individually and in small groups to tackle the comprehension questions and figurative terms. It really helped some students to hear the opinions and answers of their peers as they were answering specific questions. The students did a great job! With this being the end of the novel, we will have our test over it tomorrow. The test will reflect the figurative terms and comprehension questions that we covered each day in class. We will continue working on our journal activities and projects throughout the week as time allows.
We also found some time to work on our handwriting this morning. Today we reviewed the letters a,d,g,o,c, and q. I realize that some students may still be grumbling about writing in cursive, but their handwriting keeps getting better and better! Keep practicing!
