Hello,

First we corrected last week’s vocabulary quiz and then went on to

Today’s warm-up:

Zoo Stories

Share the answer to the following question orally with you group:

What kind of animal do you feel like today? Why?

Answer in your journal:

  1. What animals were in your group today?
  2. What were the similarities/ differences between the animals?
  3. How well did you group member participate?
  4. How did this activity help you get to know each other?
  5. What was difficult about this activity?
  6. What animal did someone else think of that you also liked?

There were lots of animals: koalas, tigers, lions, gazelles, owls, fish, and on and on.  Very creative.

Then I checked your 3 outside reading chioces while you worked in the blue packet on Diction (p. 12) and Detail (p.25) worksheets.

The period was slightly shortened for the emergency drill today, so that was it.

Study your vocabulary!  This Friday is a review test on all of our words from the beginning (Latin prefixes) until this last week!
