Today's homework:
Math - finish skill sheet Note: next week you will only have one night of homework time to work on this and will need to budget your time.
LA. journal prompt - write about a time when you learned something - this is practice for our assessment on Tuesday. Our report cards in writing are based on student's ability to produce a narrative as an "on demand" prompt. They will have one class (one hour) and can use the afternoon (40 minutes) to finish if needed. I need to witness the story being typed completely in class or handwritten. It can not be done ahead of time.
I will also take into account the process pieces you wrote during class - but this assessment is where you show you can do it on your own. I will grade it with the rubric and get it back to you in time for you to consider doing another on demand right before vacation next Thursday. (Report card marking period ends on Friday November 18th.)
Read your novel for 20 minutes
Today we met Hugo and Antonia, exchange students from Chile. It was very interesting to here how their culture, geography and climate is different than ours (and sometimes the same.) They even sang a song in Spanish for us!
Mrs. Babbitt taught us to use Culture Grams. We will use this for a mini research presentation right after vacation (when we begin informational writing.)
We also read our last chapter of the week for the BFG. Tomorrow we will do some vocabulary, summarizing and journal writing work on these chapters.
Tomorrow we also get to see the play The Paper Bag Bandit.
