August 22 - Language Arts

Today in class we...

1. Spent some time reading independently. Students were allowed to count this time towards their weekly reading log.

2. As a class we read "Chrysanthemum". Students were given a page of the children's book to annotate. Students then took their annotations & reflected in their journal about their feelings of their own name. Teacher participated. After writing time, students were allowed to share.

3. Using that reflection, students created a web to generate ideas for a potential story/memoir/narrative.

4. Students took idea web & began to craft a story in their reflection journal.
