The Dream

The Dream by Common, this was part 3 of a 4 part series. Give me your thoughts.

Self and Peer Rubric…Express Yourself

How did it feel to express yourself through rating your own individual performance? Your peers’ performances?   What would you change for next time?

Rock Around the Clock

What are your thoughts on the Appointment Clock?  Questions, comments, concerns?  How did you like the activity?  What would you change for next time?  Do you think we should change our clocks throughout the year?  Why or why not?  How do you think we will use the clocks?

Scholastic Book Fair

Identify cool pics from our Book Fair tour today.  What did you or are you going to purchase?

Spelling Success

You participated in your first spelling assessment today.  What did you think?  What would you change?

Interactive Study Guide

Test tomorrow: Reader’s and Writer’s Workshop Expectations

Below you will see a list of topics from the expectations.   Using your Respectful, Responsible, and Safe expectations from Reading 1 and Writing 1, create a question for a minimum of five topics from reading and from writing. 

If you see another student’s comment, find the answers to his or her questions on the same material.  If a student has yet to post, visit the site later this evening.

Good Luck!
