Today in Language Arts, the students were introduced to the remaining 6+1 Traits, Ideas and Organization. Tomorrow we will be learning about strategies to help us improve in these areas. I will then begin meeting with students to help them select strategies that can be used to help them further their writing skill set.
The students finished reading Tuesdays of the Other June while in class today. We discussed how the events within the story correlate to the pyramid of action. The students then began the rough draft for their pyramid of action project that they will be working on for the remainder of the week.
Conferences are next week which means that our school book fair will be taking place in the library. Since our library day is typically on Mondays, we will be using our time to go to the book fair. The students may bring money to purchase books or wait until they come to conferences with their families. I will be purchasing books from the fair for our classroom as well. Our library time will take place this Friday so that the students are still able to check out books.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
