Writing: Tonight, writers, keep growing your ideas about the text you selected. One way you might do this is by finding a line in the text that really stands out to you, maybe one that’s interesting or odd or surprising, and copying it on the top of a page. If you chose a video story you can write the scene you are thinking of, like when the old lady found the cookies in her purse or when Joy saw Heron with her babies. Then, you could write long about that one line. However you choose to grow your ideas, be sure that you fill at least a page in your notebook - or 2 decent sized paragraphs digitally, maybe more. And as you write, work to move from the particulars of that line to some big ideas.

From Mrs. Christie: For Art class, Monday Jan.27, please bring in a KITCHEN UTENSIL. NO SHARP OBJECTS ALLOWED! Look for a utensil that has interesting “contours”! This object will stay in the art room for a few weeks so don’t bring in something you use every day!

Reading: Reading for 30 minutes. After you read tonight you will write an entry in your reading journal. Use the technique we used today. Start with something you noticed in the text. Add something you know from life. Then tie it together with something you came up with yourself. One example:

I have been reading Wonder by R.J. Palacio. Augie is the main character in the book and he interacts with a number of different characters. One character that he interacts with is Julian. When Julian gives Augie a tour of the school, he is condescending and mean to Augie. He makes Augie feel like he is stupid or that he has never learned anything before. // It seems that Julian is being mean, but I wonder if he just doesn’t understand Augie because he is different than anyone Julian has met before. I also know that sometimes kids’ parents don’t always teach them how to be nice or understanding to people that are different. // I can learn that it’s important to have empathy for other people and to understand both sides of a story before judging a character or person. I think Julian needs to be taught better skills, and Augie could do more to stand up for himself.

If you did not put your new reading goal on google classroom, do it tonight!

Tell your thought or idea
Notice story elements such as plot, characters, setting
Use evidence from the book to support it
Give just enough background to explain your idea
Push yourself to think more deeply
Use Pushing Prompts:
- This reminds me of...
- this makes me think...
- the though I have about that is....
- At first I thought, but now I realize

Reading: Reading for 30 minutes -- When something 'jumps out at you', write a quick sticky note. Keep track and log it in google classroom when you get to school.

Writing: Today we talked about two more ways we might come up with ideas for our personal narratives. One is to pay attention to the world around us. I read Make Way for Ducklings by Rober McClosky which was one good example of someone getting an idea from life. I also gave the example of me seeing some kids fishing off a rock at my beach that reminded me of a time that I was fishing down there and caught an eel. Another way is through connections you might make when you are reading. I gave an example from the story "Eleven" where the teacher was pretty harsh with Rachel that reminded me of my 6th grade teacher and a time when it was pretty rough for me in class. We used Kek from Home of the Brave to think about times we felt a little out of place, especially with knowing a language which gave some of you ideas about 'times when' in your own lives.

You need to come up with at least ONE idea from each of these ways tonight to add to your list.

Example: 3 1/4 + 2 1/8. Hmmm. Well 3+2 is 5... And 1/4 is less than half, and 1/8 is even smaller. A good estimate then would be -More than 2 but less than 2 1/2.

Happy Thanksgiving! Today we thought about gratitude and of the many things we are grateful for in our lives. We wrote some cinquains to capture some of our favorites. Here are mine:

Nature

Larger than us

Constantly recreates

Makes us feel part of the wide world

Peaceful

Laughter

Down in our souls

Shaking us inside out

Joy spilling out from deep within

Smiling

Students

Eager learners

Thinking, asking, sharing

Make me wonder and see new things

Clever

By Ms. Gale

Take some time to share yours with your family. And? If you have some gratitude over the weekend for your experiences and your family? TELL THEM!

Have a wonderful break. Come back rested and ready to learn.
