Happy Friday!

We had a Fantastic Friday! Today was a phenomenal day in our classroom. In reading we learned four new words that we can now use in our writing prompts. We learned the words: humdrum, captivating, repulsive, and succulent. Can you imagine if we would use these new words in our writing? 

In writing we learned a strategy called the "I Do-We Do-You Do" strategy. To start with I wrote and planned the first paragraph of an expository prompt, then we responded to a different prompt as a whole class, finally the students responded to a prompt on their own. The writing was amazing. I am so proud of the students, I hope you are too!

Enjoy your long weekend, I know I will!
