ELA - We finished discussing parallel structure. We will continue to discuss this concept because students aren't entirely comfortable with it yet. We concluded ELA by reading another chapter in The Giver.
As a reminder parallel structure occurs in sentences when listing actions or items. All of those items need to be the same part of speech and in the same tense when verbs. Example: Ms. Black cooked her dinner, wrote her lesson plans, and helped her kids with their homework. All of the underlined words in the list are past tense verbs. Another example would be: She spoke clearly and softly. Clearly and softly are, obviously, adverbs.

Math - Students had their weekly Compass computer time today. They spent 30 minutes each on customized Math and ELA work. Students may also work on it at home. The website is: https://thelearningodyssey.com Students all know their login and password and under the "School" tab you need to type in "Decatur"
Social Studies - Ms. Young taught a lesson about the major Civil War battles. Students gathered information as a group on one battle and began sharing that information with the rest of the class.
Author Visit -- Adam Gidwitz visited today and told a grisly and entertaining version of the Cinderella story.
