We went to the Book Fair today to preview what was there or purchase something we wanted. The book fair will be open during conferences as well but we are not visiting again this week as a class.

When we returned, we previewed our Article of the Week.  As a class we discussed what we think the article will be about and the author’s purpose for writing it. We then independently read and talked to the text using our metacognition strategies to help us prepare for a group discussion about the article.

Conferences are:   

• Monday (today) 4:00-7:00pm
• Wednesday 3:30-6:30pm

Conferences are student led in 6th grade. Please bring your student with you so they can show you what we have been learning in language arts!
