In Language Arts today the students participated in listen to reading for chapters 6-8 of Tuck Everlasting.  While reading, they answered and discussed comprehension questions which will be used in our next literature circle after the break.

The students also spent time responding to their reading log using their good fit book.  From this point forward, I will no longer be grading responses based on attempt.  We are now in the back half of sixth grade and in order to better prepare students, they need to accurately know and be accountable for writing a constructed response. Therefore, the students can now lose 1-3 points if their responses are incomplete.  Students who are absent of Fridays will still be excused from writing the response.

Have a fun, relaxing, and safe break!
