Wednesday September 17, 2014

This morning concluded our three day streak of NWEA beginning of the year assessments.
Phhhhhhew!  Finally complete (for the majority who were not absent the past 3 days!)

This afternoon we celebrated US Constitution day.  We decoded the preamble of the constitution and put it into much easier terms to understand.  Then we decided which things in our room would create a powerful constitution for our classroom.  We had some really thoughtful, character wall based, college and career ready, and classroom expectation based classroom constitutions.




We the People!

In reading we started a new story called Blasting Off to Space Academy which focuses on the strategy of identifying Text and Graphic features.  Here is a great video that explains the different types of text and graphic features in non-fiction (informational) texts.
