Rainy days and changing weather are just two reasons I love September!
We started the day with independent reading time then added a new word from our reading to our Writer's Notebooks. Students completed a form for the Writer's Notebook check. I plan to shift the format of independent reading beginning Monday. Students will receive more information about this then.
After reading the students' responses on the Writer's Notebook form, I may have misunderstood their reaction to yesterday's notebook entry. While I thought they didn't really connect with the essay about the power of a hug, many kids responded positively to it!
With our remaining class time, we returned to the Poetry Party! and completed TPCASTT charts for the poems. Some groups were able to move on to steps 4-8 of the assignment, so we will use a little time in class tomorrow to bring the party to a close.
