HOMEWORK
Math - 35: evens
History - Cornell notes over chapter 10a
Vocabulary - Unit 5: A-D due Friday
Grammar - Practice book page 2.2 and Apply It Now from Voyages Book
Writing - Writer's Corner and Activity C from page 256 - 257 in Voyages Book
CURRENT EVENTS!
I'm using this second trimester to transition into a more centers-based class structure. Students are divided into small groups and cycle through various activities such as literature circle, grammar practice, writer's workshop, independent reading, and so forth. As students progress through their centers, I either set up at a particularly tricky activity, or go from group to group making informal assessments and providing support.
I love running my classroom this way! It is incredibly dynamic! It allows me to give a lot of individualized attention, students can work at the pace that suits them best, and students are often free to choose to work with partners, in groups, or work independently, depending on their preferred learning style.
We're still in the training period, but I've been quite pleased with how well the kids are doing with it!
You'll notice the homework list has grown significantly. This is because work not completed in their centers becomes homework. So much of what is listed above is expected to get mostly finished up at school.

FRIDAY
TODAY
We finished our papers for Jamestown projects and ran a Jamestown museum throughout the end of the day!
We also completed our first grammar tests! I haven't finished them all yet, but I'm noticing a consistent pattern of struggling with possessives, particularly plural possessives. I've already pulled together a little re-teach for Monday and Tuesday, and we'll re-test over just possessives on Wednesday (as well as keep trying to use them in our writing to get practical practice)
