Students signed up for Explorations this morning and then we reviewed our daily grammar. Then we discussed this week's vocabulary words. Our final ELA task of the day was to finish up last week's poetry practice. Overall, there were some really funny, sweet, and interesting poems.
During social studies we read a document about Hoovervilles. This week we are focusing on the Great Depression and the New Deal. I am currently working on writing the directions and rubric for this term's mini-project so students should have that by the end of this week.
Homework: Vocab, social studies reading, read personal book for 30 minutes daily
Some of the text on this week's homework was cut off. Here's the text and the directions.
Here are our Hooverville notes. Tomorrow both flex groups will look at the other group's notes to see how they match up. Since students read the document and tell me what to write, sometimes they find different facts from the same text.
During library time this week, Mrs. Smith read the beginnings of two books by Sharon Draper. If you want to order the books, the forms are due THIS Wednesday.
