The number of students who didn't do their reading and get it signed dropped...we went from 13 down to 8! I am sure that by the end of the week we will drop even lower! The only way to get better at reading is to read! We need more reading and more AR points!
Lunch Bunch Reading Group!
Today our focus was on comparing and contrasting themes and main ideas across two texts. We looked at Rachel Carson and Rain Forest Food Chains for common themes and ideas. We then worked on putting these ideas into a Venn Diagram.
Finally, we started reading an article on Rain Forests so we could start coming up with an outline for a brochure to "Save the Rainforest!"
Tomorrow we look at the information and come up with categories and an outline for what we want to include in our brochure.
Homework:
- Read for 45 minutes - Write Summary - Get Parents to Sign Reading Log
- Writing - Short Response for Lesson 1B.13 on Pesticides
- Lang. Arts - Adjectives with ER and EST
