In Language Arts today the students continued to learn about the 6+1 Traits. This time, our focus was on word choice and voice. We discussed what it means to incorporate new vocabulary into our writing and using new vocabulary words to make our writing more interesting. We also focused on the importance of being confident and specific when writing. This way, the reader will understand exactly what we are talking about when we write.
The students also spent time in class reviewing the pyramid of action. We then applied this thinking to a story from our textbook titled Tuesdays of the Other June. This is a longer story that we did not finish reading in class today. We will finish this tomorrow.
Lastly, the students finished their student-led conference forms in class today. They will be taking a few minutes each day to practice and prepare themselves for conferences next week.
Have a great evening!
