6th: Today we began class by making a to do list of all the things we needed to accomplish with our book club groups in order to have a finished project presentation:
-KWL research charts complete for everyone
-Book reflections complete for everyone
-Book project planning page complete for everyone and approved by teacher
-Complete product used to teach class about book and what was learned in research
-A planned-out project presentation for which everyone has a role and is prepared and knows what they will present about

Students had class time to work on their projects. Miss D moved the project presentation date to Monday. Students will have 1/2 of the class tomorrow to work on these and no time on Friday.
