First thing in the morning, we discussed how sometimes we need to be responsible for ourselves and sacrifice some of our own free time to complete a task or job. Yes, those situations are not fun, but life is riddled with times were we must make sacrifices (such as sacrificing some of our recess to complete an unfinished job), which is a skill in itself that requires a bit of practice.
We then segued into discussing making strong inferences that make sense and give a detailed explanation of our thoughts/ideas! Some of us needed to revise some of our inferences from the previous day, so we made those revisions when we had a free moment!
When we got back to class from Music w/Mr. Volkar, we continued to practice using a variety of terms to describe any time in minutes shown on an analog clock!
You don't realize this, but these students just had an a-ha moment! They just realized how to figure out how many until the next hour! |
During reading today, we focused on using details/clues throughout a non-fiction text to determine the main idea that the writer is trying to get across to us readers! We also boxed any keywords that helped us record the main idea and detail in our own words!
And for those us that didn't get a chance to finish up yesterday, we had to find some free time today to write our flash draft for the informational topic of...Pokemon!
And that's a wrap up folks! Cheers, and have a good one!
