Homework For Today:
No homework on Friday

Today's Agenda:
1. Warm-up and Correct the warm-up 2. Vocabulary Test #6--Read each word in a different order and students will write the correct spelling on their own piece of paper. Make sure that you DO NOT allow students to correct the vocabulary tests in an effort to save time. They have a tendency to cheat when given this opportunity. Something else that works to decrease the amount of cheating with the vocabulary tests is to have students turn their papers over once they have finished the test. Then, they pass these tests up to the front without having the person in front of them looking for the correct answers and (possibly) changing the answers. 3. Using an overhead transparency of page 14 in the GWPB, pass out copies of page 14 of GWPB and practice with students as you teach them the concept. 4. Formative Assessment Instruction/Practice: Write the first day of school prompt on the board and tell students to take out a sheet of paper. Tell students to write three sentences using at least 3 sight sensory details and collect it when they have finished. 5. Continue scanning for vocabulary and reading the story, //Growing Together//, asking questions as you read with students.
