Today was mostly about getting caught up on our compositions. We have been working our way through the Thinking Maps and doing compositions for each one.
Today I gave them a assignment to write about “My Goal in Life” and gave them a sample. They worked with the Multi-Flow Map here:
While they wrote the rough drafts on this one – I made them write two full paragraphs on this topic – I held individual writing conferences to go over some of the earlier rough drafts. The students worked hard on the final drafts from the previous compositions as soon as they finished with this new rough draft. I look forward to reading them over the next day or two.
Of course, we did other things, too. We checked homework from Friday and we did math. We went out to PE and we read Island of the Blue Dolphins. And we had a little time to get started on homework before going home.
Homework: (1) Do the spelling jumble. Note that all the words this week have the –tion suffix. (2) Do “Amazon Rain Forest” study sheet. Students need to take home the purple Science Resources book. (3) Do “Word Knowledge” and “Vocabulary from Context” for the next Open Court Reading Story. Note that students will need a dictionary for one part of this. (4) Do “Look for a Pattern,” Envision Math pages 68-69. (5) Do the Multiplication Practice worksheet.
