Our narrative essays are finished--or close to it! Yea! We worked on creating our final drafts today, and we compiled all of the prewriting activities and drafts we had done into one package. About half of the class finished during our class time; the other half needs to finish at home and bring the completed package to school on Wednesday.
Today during our reading time I asked the students to read exclusively--no RRJ--and to keep track of the number of pages they read in the 20 minutes we had. I ask students to read at home for 20 minutes a night, and I've been tracking each student's progress through books. My hope is that I will continue to see steady progress in reading, and by checking each student's individual capabilities I should be able to set individual expectations accordingly.
We all look forward to our Christmas celebration on Wednesday! We will participate in caroling in the morning, and our class will have a party together before heading out for bowling in the afternoon. A gift exchange game will be part of our day, so students should bring a wrapped $5 gift to school on Wednesday. Should be fun!
I hope that you have a wonderful Christmas! As we sang this morning, "O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord!"
