Sept. 3 - Tuesday

Welcome back! What a beautiful long weekend!

Today all classes worked in groups and "jigsawed" the rest of their articles related to our Make a Difference unit. Students did well annotating the parts of the article that related to transitioning from a bystander to an upstander, and then they shared taught their group's synthesis with the class. Skills of many levels taking place here! :)

We also shared examples of "jump-out" sentences from our independent reading and why certain sentences jump out at us. I found great examples over the weekend that I shared.

Fund- raising magazine packets went home today. Don't forget to return the Subscription Network booklet for your yard of gum tomorrow!! Omg!

H/W: Bring in your independent reading book tomorrow with two marked jump-out sentences.

See you tomorrow1
