Snacks

I am allowing students to bring in a snack (for themselves) to eat during Enrichment. They are not allowed to eat candy, chocolate, junk food or drink sodas. However, they may drink water. Snack ideas....pretzels, granola bars, trail mix, fruit, crackers, vegetables and cheese.

Supplies Needed

For each classroom we need Clorox wipes or antibacterial wipes so students can clean their desks. We also need hand santizer.
Thanks!

Class Discussion

We discussed fact and opinion this week. Students read a nonfiction selection and we discussed personal accounts of stage fright. Students also presented their biocubes on Tuesday. I was very impressed with their boxes. It was very interesting to hear about their lives. This grade will count as a test grade. Only a few students did not turn in a biocube. Students were in the computer lab on Friday working on Study Island. They took tests on making predictions and fact and opinion. They are able to work on this at home. I encourage my students to make at least a 90 before moving onto the next section. We will continue our discussions on fiction and nonfiction next week.
Have a great weekend!

Class Discussion

We are learning about fiction and nonfiction. We read "Greyling" in our literature book and "Drive In Movies." They seemed to really enjoy these stories. We did a very interesting debate on whether children should be paid for their chores or not. They also responded to this in their notebooks. They had an open book test on both stories. Hopefully, you will have the grades next week. "All most every student" turned in their Biocube. They will present these on Tuesday. Students can still turn these in by Tuesday but points will be taken off for being late. On Friday, students logged onto Study Island and took a test about predictions. They can access this at home if they want to work on it. www.studyisland.com

Biocubes

Biocubes are due this Friday. All students received a handout on what is needed on their box and how it will be graded. Students will not present these until Tuesday.
