Grammar:
Today we continued to work on complex sentences during our grammar portion of the day. This is a skill that we continue to work on since it needs to carry over into their writing.
During reading, we read a short nonfiction article about the solar system and used a diagram to answer comprehension questions. This also stirred up quite a conversation about comparing and contrasting the different- This was not a planned activity but it turned out to be a very beneficial activity!
Writing today continued with writing a letter(personal narrative) to someone that they admired. Since we are really working on using paragraphs and complex sentences, this was a struggle for some students. This letter is due on Friday.
Homework:
***Personal narrative writing is due tomorrow- It should be two pages in length with details.
***Weekly Homework Packet is due on Friday

Social Studies-
Today we read and discussed section 2.8 through the summary. We also looked at colorful pictures of different places in the United States and the students had to figure out where they were based on specific clues.
Study guides were passed out today for chapter 2. My content class #1 will have their test next Thursday. Be sure to fill out the study guide and study the vocabulary. The students should be able to write to show that they know the vocabulary.
Until tomorrow...
