Today I was at an in-school workshop so we had Mrs. R as a supply teacher. She gave the students a Math Review that looked at several of the concepts covered in math this term. I was very pleased with how the students did. After recess they wrote in their Journals about Halloween and what they thought about it.
In an effort to reduce the socializing and increase the amount of work getting done, I rearranged desks into a new formation. I'm hoping this will increase focus on work.
After lunch, we finished writing our descriptive paragraphs and we tried to do some peer editting. Students exchanged what they had written with a fellow student and listened to the suggestions they had that would improve their writing. We also all checked to make sure we had capitals at the start of each sentence and an endmark at the end.
We then did our literacy groups. We did penmanship, grammar ( naming and telling parts of sentences) and two groups worked on reading a story and responding to questions.
Last period we went to the library with Mr. Brutto.
Several students are sad that Angi has moved and started at a new school. We will miss her. Good luck at your new school, Angi!
