The next Literacy Letter is due Dec. 18th.  Some students will be getting an organizer to help with the quality of their letter.  I will give those by Friday.

Literacy Block:
SS: I can describe a conflict or compromise early KY settlers had.
Activity: Students and I read and discussed a text.  We found several different conflicts and compromises.  Students then answered an Extended Response.  We used our language standards as well in this answer.  This will be graded as a test.
No HW

Reading:  I can compare 1st and 3rd POV in texts.  Today we worked on several different reading texts - short and long.  Students compared and found key words for picking out the correct POV.
No HW - we will be testing over this on Friday

Science:  I can describe fossils and how they help explain our environment today.
Activity: We worked on a study guide for our test tomorrow.  Students were soo good! I know they are going to rock the test! We also watched a review clip of fossils and played a jeopardy game with fossils.
HW: study with the study guide for test tomorrow

Math:  I can create and explain a multiplicative comparison problem. (Ms. Wilham)
Activity:  Students created their own multiplicative comparisons in small groups.  They not only created a problem, they also had to create a visual for how to answer these word problems.  Then students taught their peers about how to answer the problem.  Lastly, students played a game with multiplicative comparisons.
HW: students will be testing on this on Friday
