Today was a busy day! We began with a review of the role that subjects and verbs play in sentences, and we discussed subject and verb possiblilites. That meant we talked about common and proper nouns, pronouns, and action and state-of-being verbs. The students created some unusual sentences when they each came up with a subject or verb and then put two of them together!
We began the revision of the narrative paragraph drafts we wrote on Wednesday. Students started the process by rereading their paragraphs and looking at the subjects and verbs they had used in their writing. Many students were able to find stronger or more specific words to use in their paragraphs.
Our morning was interrupted--pleasantly so--by the arrival of Chuck, who came to award prizes to our magazine sellers. Congratulations to all of the students who received lollipops and won money in the cash ball toss!
We finished out our morning by reading a few Reading Response Journal entries and talking about the type of content that should be included in these entries. Students were assigned a RRJ entry to be written either in class or at home, and they had a few minutes in class to read or write.
Enjoy the weekend!
Homework: READ!
