11-12-15

What a great day...we accomplished so much today. The kids worked hard today reviewing and practicing several skills during our time together.  I separated the kids into groups of 4, and had the room set up in learning centers.  The students spent 15 minutes on each center.  See the pictures below for an explanation of each center.
In this center, students used our new Power Pens to work on their comprehension skills. They read a story on the card, and then flipped the cards over. Using the power pens, they answered questions.  If they answered correctly, the pen light becomes green.

 In this center, the students practiced their weekly vocabulary cards.  One student read the definition, while the rest of the group wrote their answer on their individual whiteboards.
 In this center, students used an IPAD, Surface, and laptop to play homophone games in preparation for tomorrow's quiz.
 This is a fluency center.  The students read a passage and used a timer to read for one minute.  They then reread to see if they could increase their words per minute.  This center is leveled, so all students can practice at their level.
Our final center was to practice main ideas.  It is called Main Idea Shopping.  The kids loved practicing in this fun filled way.

Homework tonight:
read 20 minutes
study for homophone quiz and vocabulary review quiz (TOMORROW)
any late work
