Thursday 9-29

I am writing this with no knowledge of what went on today.  Here is what was "supposed to happen."

In LA we hopefully had a writing/reading classroom retreat. Kids wrote on their own personal narrative until they felt "finished" at this point and/or wrote their own personal writing. When they felt done with writing (or 30 minute mark) they could switch to reading.

In the afternoon  we had our regular library time followed by edutyping. If one lesson got finished, kids could read or work on their continent project if that is not done yet.

Homework:
Extra reading time again - push yourself. See if you can read for an entire half hour
Math test tomorrow. Mr. Meadows sent parents an email about this. Here is the text of it:
HI everyone, 

I wanted to let parents know that tomorrow will be our first quiz in math.  We have been studying factors and multiples for several weeks.  I worked with the class today to prepare them and I think they are on track.  They have homework to complete pages 20-21 which will be good review for the quiz.

My quizzes are pretty low key.  At this point in the year they are designed to be practice for taking quizzes and tests as much as actually assessing their skills.  Grades will consist exclusively of comments and feedback on what they are doing well, and areas they will want to work on moving forward.

Have a look tonight at their homework.  Let me know if you have any questions.
