Thursday in ELA

Today we read chapters 13, 14, and 15 in Night of the Spadefoot Toad.  We can see the action picking up as we move into the final chapters of the book.  We still have not had the solution to the problem that started the book, so we know we haven't quite reached the climax.

In writing we worked on dialogue and adding sensory and vivid words to our writing to make it more interesting.  These skills we are learning in reading and writing will be used in the coming weeks as we work on our On Demand Writing Prompt which is called the PBA.   I teach the skills, we practice it together, they work on it in their writing journals, so when we have the PBA, it should be easy!

Homework:

• Reading Response Journal - Read for 30-45 minutes, respond with summary and reflection
• Picking up 501's Journals Tomorrow for Journal Check!
• ELA Homework Packet #4 (FOR GRADE DUE TOMORROW)
