Freaky Friday

Wasn't it high 50's and partly sunny yesterday.  Didn't we have to call and ask them to turn off the heater because our room was super hot.  Today we woke up to snow.  In fact, it is noon and it just stopped a few minutes ago.  GO figure!  I am so glad we just did our unit on Weather in science so the students have more understanding of this amazing topic.

• 1st -  Science with Ms. Galan
• 2nd/3rd - Math
• We went over homework and checked on permission slips.  Then we cleared off desk and passed out the Chapter 7 Performance Task.  I went over the tasks questions by question with the students.  We talked about what they are asking for, how we could solve it, and then the students had to solve it.  When students were finished, they were allowed to get on WAGGLE and practice.
• 4th - Literacy / Science
• We started the period doing the Spelling Test #16.  It took a little longer than expected, so instead of starting reading our next section of Communities, we opted to start our Science Weather Test.  It is easier to stop and start a test then pick up reading.  Students worked on using the text to find the answers to the questions after I read them aloud.
• 5th - Lunch
• 6th/7th - Science/Literacy
• We finished the science test and then moved into Literacy.  Today's lesson was ReadyGen 2B.8.  The focus was using information gained from illustrations and using linking words to compare and contrast.  We read pages 20-23 and used graphic organizers to compare and contrast aspects of communities.
