Close reading

We began Close Reading today.   I used Oreo cookies to introduce the readings in a fun way to get students to look at details.  Students worked with their elbow partner, after the first read, to answer the "gist" of the article.  Tomorrow is the second reading where we will "dig deeper" for understanding!

First week 2017

We did it! We managed to get the whole class logged on to our new HP laptops with Windows 10.  That doesn't sound so bad, except we had to restart,  restart again, and restart again! 😀  I'm so proud of my kiddos for persevering and helping each other.   ❤
