Back from break...here we GO!

So, we're officially back in the swing of things. Here we go!

6th: We began class today by going over our winter reading homework. We made a list of the books we read over break, the number of pages and minutes we read, and our favorite part of our reading. Then, we shared these out in class and Ms. D checked them. From there, we peer edited book buddy letters and turned those in. Afterward, we took a verb pretest to check our current understanding of verbs and then graded these pretests. Ms. D shared an example book commercial and then we spent time writing those commercials. Remember- those of you who are presenting commercials tomorrow. Be ready!
Homework: Prepare your book commercial! Read for 30 minutes.

7th: Today we began class by collecting all of our work from winter break. We wrote down the names of the books we read over break, as well as the number of pages and hours we read. The top reader got a prize! We turned in our buddy letters and then cleaned out all of our Africa work. We signed up for book commercials and had some time in class to prepare them. Then, we introduced the new composition books we'll be using, did a foldable activity to prepare for reading the Breadwinner and then began reading chapter one!
Homework: Make sure your book commercial is good to go...read for 30 minutes.
