Wisdom-filled Wednesday

Hello 201 Families,

I hope that you all are planning on attending Open House this Thursday from 6:00-7:00. 210 students want to share the classroom with you!

CAC News:

  • Our first day in the CAC is Monday, October 1
  • The final performance is Friday, October 12
  • Students were given a Preference Sheet today.  They should indicate their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choices.
  • Some students have decided to audition for a speaking role.  These students were given a poem to practice this evening.  Auditions will be tomorrow.  The poem does not have to be memorized!

Today We.....
  • Had morning writing conferences
  • Discussed the relationship between characters' actions, traits and motivations
  • Created BIO Poems.  Come and see them at Open House
  • Worked on comparing and ordering numbers using the symbols and terms: greater than, less than and equal to
Tonight at home.....
  • 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.
