Today was a great day! In first block, we met our 2nd grade buddies. The kids set such a great example for the little ones. I was so proud of every single person! Check back tomorrow for photos.
We prepared for our test in informational text tomorrow by working on either study island or in our write in handbooks. We reviewed the process of finding main idea and the four major text structures we have learned. The kids seem prepared!
For homework, every student was asked to bring home a nonfiction book. For part of the 30 minutes of reading, the students should read a page and find the main idea of that page. They should be able to identify the sentence that supports this answer.
Grades for the reconstruction test will go home tomorrow. If a student is unhappy with the score, or if he or he has scored below a70, it may be edited this weekend for an improved score. Changes must reflect a thorough explanation of why the answer was incorrect and why the correct answer is correct (going back to that evidence). Students are welcome to ask any questions and use their resources!
