Mock CRCT, pen pals & projects

Today is a sunny and cold Thursday. Here's what we did in class today:

We practiced with transitive and intransitive verbs and then learned about state-of-being verbs. There are 8: be, being, been, was, were, is, am, are. Students have a state-of-being verb practice sheet for homework. Then, we took a mock ELA CRCT created by Atlanta Public Schools in order to assess students' learning of the standards at this point in the year.

Then, Miss Devine explained the pen pal exchange project, where students will be pairing with students at Centro Escolar Santa Clara in Olancho, Honduras. Students chose their pen pals. Letters in an envelope, with the student's picture and a small trinket are due next Thursday, December 17th. Here are the pen pal pairs.

Homework: Verb practice sheet. If your indigenous peoples page is not yet complete, you need to do that for homework. Tomorrow we will have only a short amount of time to work on projects.
