Language Arts: Today we took our realistic fiction characters for a "test drive." In order to  learn how our characters will respond in a number of everyday settings, we put them in the lunchroom, in the hallway, and at home right after school. We made sure that our scenes included: action, internal and external dialogue, motivations and obstacles. If you need to learn more about your character, please try out some more scenes for homework. 

Reading: Duffield rotation- Worked on our ABC books that will summarize a fictional novel. Above you will see 2 examples of a planning sheet for the project and a cover for the student's ABC Book.  Homework: ABC book are due April 21st. 

Mrs VanOoyen's rotation: Each person will be getting 7 different grades. 5 of the grades are their journal entries for the chosen job.  The due dates vary, since each group created their own calendar of meeting dates.  The two other grades will be the discussions and use of class time.  All journal entries need to be completed by April 22nd.

Olsen's rotation- Students meet with Mr Olsen and/partners on a daily basis to work on reading fluency.
