WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23

@@@@SPELLING ACTIVITY L--DUE TODAY:

I walked around and collected the spelling activity from each student. I also looked to see that the flash cards were completed correctly.

@@@@"ROSA PARKS: MY STORY" QUIZ:

We talked about how good readers are able to see the KEY WORDS in questions. We took highlighters and talked through each of the seven questions, picking out the key words or phrases.

Then each student used the book and hunted for the correct answers.


@@@@ROSA PARKS AS A BUS DIRVER PAINTING--RESPONSE ON BACK OF QUIZ:

On the back of the quiz, students responded to the painting I brought in. The painting was done by a 1st grader at Marlatt. She has Rosa Parks driving a bus. I asked students to respond to the painting...describing what the girl got "right" about Rosa Parks, what seemed to be "wrong." Finally, students were to think symbollically about the painting. What could the bus stand for? What could be right about Rosa Parks driving the bus? Write a paragraph worth.

@@@@"I WONDER"--7 QUESTIONS/CURIOSITIES FROM PHINNEAS GAGE---ON BACK OF QUIZ:

Also on the back of the quiz, in addition to the paragraph response, you were to pick up the next book we will be reading together, Phinneus Gage. Don't read the book, but rather, flip through the pages looking at pictures, etc. and coming up with SEVEN things you wonder about or are curious about this book.
