- Complete the math sheet
- Complete the Physical Properties activity: Find an image in a magazine, paper or flyer. Cut it out and paste it in the center of the sheet. Describe the image according to its physical properties: Hardness, Size, Shape, Color, Texture, Taste and Odor
- Read and reflect in your journal. Most students are getting this feedback from me, "Less summary, more evaluation." What can we infer about a character's traits from examining their actions? Sentences like, "This shows me that....." or, " When ____does _____ it shows______....." are good leads to examining character.
