I won't be in school tomorrow (at meetings talking about Acuity, performance tasks, Common Core, etc.) so there will be no presentations. We will resume the presentations on Friday and make a trip to the IMC in search of potential nonfiction reads. This will not be a group read this time, but an individual one. You can actually start looking at homw for a good nonfiction read. Ask Mom and Dad. They undoubtedly have an idea or two in their brains (notice the agreement!) or on the book shelves they would love to share with you. I, too, have a few suggestions should you become desperate. More on the nonfiction books, and what you will be doing with them, will be available on Friday.
Speaking of Friday...that will also be the day that we have our long awaited agreement quiz. Brush up on the notes you've taken. Review the pronoun chart. Remind yourself to identify key words. You can even go to this agreement error link for a little additional assistance. Make sure you scroll down to the Pronoun Agreement section.
I accepted some great irony examples today. Loved Kacey Wood's toothless man hawking Colgate toothpaste. Hilarious! Lexi Marks offered a creative example of a sunflower in a rain storm. And in the what-were-they-thinking category, Matt Maurer shared a ridiculous ad from Pacific Bell asking us to call them if our phones are out of service. Really? Great job, students.
Tomorrow, in my absence, you'll be starting work on our next frontier. Quarter two is a nonfiction quarter so get ready. Here it comes.
See you Friday.
