Math: Unit Assessment is tomorrow morning at 10:15! We have a guest reader from 9:30-10:15 in celebration of "Read Across America Day" but it's on to geometry shortly after that...

Language Arts:

Take a Stand, Rosa Parks - We began reading a more difficult chapter book today that chronicles Rosa Parks life experiences in a more thorough way than our last book. They will require some extra support with this but I envision them building upon their knowledge of our last book in a more comprehensive way...we shall see! They should reread chapter one with an adult tonight.

Sword... - Tough time in group today! After working independently to read chapter 12 and answering two questions in their RRJs, we met in small group to discuss their progress. I was somewhat surprised how they collectively struggled with answering an explicit question in their RRJs. I ultimately decided that I needed to limit the pages to reference to p. 94/95 with which they should complete their response. We did a tremendous amount of investigation with regard to the question so this should not pose a problem...completely independent tonight!

JGB - We started a new story today and discussed the benefits of extraordinary gifts vs. some of the problems that may arise from these very gifts. They should reread the story tonight.

William and Mary - They should spend a good 15-20 minutes tonight identifying examples from Patricia MacLachlan's background that may contribute to the story Journey.
