2/23

What a beautiful view from the third floor today! Today I collected reading logs and checked long writes.  Students read for 10 minutes and then we moved on to discuss context clues.  Then we found ten words in chapter three and used context clues to help define them.  See the handout linked here.  I then provided actual definitions and the homework assignment is to write a story that uses at least five of the ten words.  Have fun with it.

For those of you missing tomorrow here is the link to chapter 3 worksheet.  Read the chapter 2 times and answer the questions on the worksheet in note style (no need for complete restatement of questions and paragraph response but develop answer entirely).
