We are into the beginning of the 2013-2014 school year. So far, I feel like we have accomplished SO much. We are already working on our Personal Narratives and the Parts of Speech. I gave all students a pretest about the parts of speech, we have some areas to work on over the next few weeks. I am sharing the results with students as we work on a new part of speech in class. Today I shared that 91% of 5th grade students knew the definition of a noun and could provide an example! That is wonderful! I am eager to see how we do on the same test at the end of all lessons. I am hoping we ace it.
This Friday we will have our first student readers for our read aloud days. I think the kids are getting excited to read their books. Some kids are already looking for their books, which is great! That tells me they are getting anxious and they want to be prepared. I read my favorite children's book to all blocks on Friday and today Mrs. Ayres read to my blocks 7 & 8. Her book was SO funny! I couldn't stop chuckling. I know the kids enjoyed it, too.
I can't for Friday! Good luck to our first readers! You will all do a fantastic job.
