Nineteenth Day of School

In Writing on Friday, we carefully gave voice to our selected story through the process of touch-and-talk. We touch the planning area of the first page with our finger and tell the setting and characters in one sentence (when, where, and who: Last Friday, my family and I went to Target.). On the next page, we touch the planning area and tell what happened first (generally only one sentence). On the last page, we tell what happened next (generally only one sentence.)

Today in Writing, we planned our writing through the process of quick-sketching and labeling. It is emphasized that this is in no way an illustration to the story. We are simply making notes in the box as to what will be written on the page. We might use symbols or icons to outline our ideas. We do this for each of the 3 pages.

The rubric scores for our Math fluency quiz on Friday has been posted to Schoology. There is Math homework tonight.

In Social Science, we began our examination of the changes of things over time by comparing old photos to the present while listening to descriptions. We then made notes of differences we noticed.

For discussion at home:

  • How has school changed from the past to the present?
  • How has transportation changed over time?
