update 1-23

Number the Stars is coming to a close.  Tomorrow will be the day to finish it up.  The kids seem to be enjoying it!  Please ask your child what part they are on.  We have been working on writing out a story map with the events and showing the structure of the story.  Also, we have been stopping and discussing as we read.  We also have tweeted on our fake Twitter board and will do tomorrow too.  See below.

  

    



To end the week, we will finish this up and have a weekly ten.  At the end of the week, we will be reading an informational article on Denmark and how brave those people were during this time.  We learned about Denmark last week and the Tivoli Gardens along with the Kronborg Castle and the city of Gilleje.

Our writing piece is on Changes during World War 2.  We will finish typing our first draft and then start the revision process.  As we talk in class, I always explain how good writers revise constantly.

Lastly, Cogat testing is happening this week and we are lucky to be able to attend the Harmon musical on Thursday morning.

No online Google homework this week or Readworks, only to finish Number the Stars and the questions due to testing.  Next week, there will be an online log and a Readworks article.
