What a marvelous Monday! This morning we used something that we saw, overheard, or a surprising event as a strategy to generate a topic for our writer’s notebook. WOW! The awesome writers in our class brought so many “happenings” alive for their audience. In the afternoon, we will learn about “The Climate in Michigan” in our Audacity project. We are also finalizing our Graphic Novel genre letter and publishing it on our wiki. Get ready for a terrific Tuesday.

We had a fantastic day! In writer’s workshop today we learned more strategies for finding and generating writing ideas. We read a part of a great story where Eva, the main character, used something she saw, overheard, or a surprising event to prompt her writing juices. We have amazing writers in room 204. In the afternoon, we enjoyed learning about Michigan’s regions with our social studies buddy. Get ready for a fantastic Friday.

We had a marvelous Monday in room 204! This morning in writer’s workshop we revisited time lines. We also picked a new seed, created a timeline, and began drafting our narrative. This afternoon, we took our spelling test, worked our wiki TFK reading roundup, and enjoyed learning about Michigan’s regions.
We have a few families who need to sign-up for student led conferences. If you would like for me to sign you up, just send me an email. I am happy to help! The spring conference sign-up sheet is outside of our classroom doors. If you could sign-up by Tuesday, that would be great. Students will begin to plan their designated conference time on Wednesday.

We are going to work on the decimals and percents on those pages together next week. Tonight’s homework is JP 202, SL 7.7 as well as 20 minutes of IXL. On IXL, I want you to focus on skills D1, E1, Q1, Q2, Q5, R1, and R2. If you master those skills in the 20 minutes, you may choose any skills you like.
