In Language Arts today the students were given time to discuss chapters one through five of The Giver with a small group of students.
The students also spent time in class peer editing their compare and contrast essays for voice and word choice.
Next week, I will be giving the students time to NWEA test and catch up on assignments in Language Arts. We will be doing this all week. For this reason, I will not be posting to the blog next week since I am giving all of the information for next week in today’s post.
Have a wonderful weekend and good luck on the NWEA!
