Then the students are given the opportunity to practice the new reading strategy independently or with a partner. Afterwards, the class meets with buddies or whole class to share how they used the new strategy during their reading time. Conferring Bookmarks

Sacred Writing: How we begin each writing session…

Sacred Writing Time Did you come to class with an idea to write about? As soon as class starts, quietly make that pencil dance! It’s September 17. Today begins National “Constitution Week.” How is your constitution? Trivial Fact of the Day: In both England and the U.S., the year 1752 only had 354 days because the calendar type was changed that year, and 11 days were lost. Interesting Quote of the Day: “You make a living by what you earn; you make a life by what you give.” --Winston Churchill (British politician) Vocabulary Word of the Day: constitution (noun) – In addition to a famous American document, this word also means a physical state relating to strength or health. What do you need to do in order to have a strong or healthy constitution?

Word Study Word Study: The Words Their Way Spelling Program emphasizes spelling feature patterns in degrees of difficulty. Just as children travel through different stages, so does spelling. Students complete a basic inventory and are grouped according to feature patterns they still need to master. Spelling lists are individualized based upon student content mastery. Words will go home every other week to practice! Test will take place every other Thursday.

Growing our Garden of Leaders 1. Be Proactive I am a responsible person, I take initiative., I chose my actions, attitudes, and moods, I do not blame others for my wrong actions, and I do the right thing without being asked, even when no one is looking. 2. Begin with the End in Mind I plan ahead and set goals, and I look for ways to be a good citizen. 3. Put First Things First I say no to things I know I should not do, I set priorities, make a schedule, and follow my plan, and I am disciplined and organized. 4. Think Win-Win I balance courage for getting what I want with consideration for what others want, I make deposits in other’s Emotional Bank Accounts, when conflicts arise, I look for third alternatives. 5. Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood I listen to other people’s ideas and feelings without interrupting and I try to see things from their viewpoints. 6. Synergize I value other people’s strengths and learn from them, and I get along well with others, even people who are different than me. 7. Sharpen the Saw I take care of my body by eating right, exercising, and getting sleep, I spend time with my family and friends, I learn in lots of ways and places, not just at school, and I take time to find meaningful ways to help others.
