Monday 10-24-16

Welcome back.

Today in LA we wrote our first thinking journal entry in reading workshop. We will continue to work on the art of thinking about our reading in journal entries. Today we made some predictions about the BFG - which was a bit tricky for those who already know the ending.  The BFG espouses peace (he's a vegetarian and lectures Sophie about how only human beans kill each other.) Will he change his ideas and murder the giants for the good of civilization?

On Wednesday we will be completing an "on demand" story in class. This means come with a story idea and write it in class. We will have use of the library for some retreat writing space.  We will do some planning for homework and in class.

In the afternoon we learned a bit more about Roald Dahl and began our ADAPT project in social studies.

Homework:
LA: Brainstorm ideas for your on demand story for Wednesday. Try out one or two or make story arcs (Somebody, wanted, but, so, then...)

Read your novel for 20 minutes

Math - 20 minutes working on Division worksheets (hand out from class)
