update
Next week we will get back into our small groups. Each group selected the book they wanted to read. Some groups have begun their 3rd or 4th book! Not only are students reading, discussing, and learning from great books, many are learning how to get along within groups, use commmunication skills, and how to compromise. All of which are very important life-skills! Wednesdays will be our discussion days within small groups.
Each class will begin with a "mini lesson" in a whole group, then we will split into smaller groups with each having a clearly defined task in which they will apply the day's focus or "mini lesson". I will be working with small groups with specific needs, and conferring with readers in small groups.
Language: We have had fun this week with similes, metaphors and idioms! And will have a spelling test on Friday 16th.
