Wednesday, August 27th

Today students took their Reading MAP and tomorrow they'll take the final ELA portion.  During Language Arts we completed our daily grammar and finished reading the Underground Railroad article.  Once we completed the reading students did a "3-2-1."  They wrote down three facts from the text, two questions they still had, and one opinion.  Tomorrow we will work on the map.  

Some students went a step further to understand how the Underground Railroad could be analyzed within the framework of this term's Unit of Inquiry (How We Organize Ourselves) and our Central Idea (Processes and procedures create structures that develop order in our world).

Lastly, I'll be checking agendas tomorrow to make sure students are reading each day and/or evening for at least 30 minutes.
