Today we had a brief "check-in" to see how we are doing on understanding Theme and being able to use evidence from a text to support our identified theme!
A group of students asked for reading support to make sure they could read the passage with fluency, accuracy, and comprehension!
Today in Language Arts we started to learn about theme in literature. We watched Rainbow Fish from Storyonline.net and then used Padlet to share what we thought the theme was.
Today in writing the Nelson House students shared their revisions of their seed stories and planning templates with a writing partner. The parent offered them advice and was able to give them positive feedback on their stories.
Happy Thursday-It's hard to believe it is the 15th. Half way through the month!
In Language Arts, we continue to work on demonstrating our understanding of story elements by creating a witch's hat with setting, characters, conflict, 2 plot events, and a resolution.
Today the Nelson House prepared for our student led conferences that will occur over the next two weeks. We gauged our behaviors, how we were doing on responsibility and showing respect, and also showing personal advocacy. We also wrote goals for ourselves.
Yesterday we played Character Trait Jeopardy with a partner on our iPads! We were able to utilize what we learned about character's actions, thoughts, traits, and finally motives to try to be the first one to score 2,000 points! Here's the link:
Today in Team we went on Go Noodle and learned how to do a series of handshakes and danced to songs. Ask your about about our special performances by two students doing the worm :-)
