Wonderful Wednesday

This morning the students had time to work on their culture presentations and/or their states of matter posters/presentations.  After that, we were treated to an assembly provided by our fabulous PTA.  We got to meet Nick Bruel, the author of the Bad Kitty series.  He was very entertaining and quite informative!

Next, we switched for math and took a Go Noodle brain break.  Then we reviewed last night's homework and did a couple of practice problems.    After taking a quick class vote, we decided to take our formative today...so that's what we did next!  :-)  Overall, the students did very well.  Look for them in home folders tonight.

After math, the children enjoyed lunch and outdoor recess.

When they returned to class we began our literacy block.

Today we focused on completing the memoirs.  I spent some time reminding the class of the criteria for success listed on the rubric and the resources, and examples, included in the Google Slides checklist.  Then the children worked on publishing, conferencing, and revising their story.  As they worked I met with students, one -on-one, to help them with their revisions.  Those who finished early worked on their states of matter poster/presentation.

During our literacy block, the students did take a break to have art with Mr. Cosgrove.
