Reading BLOCK 1 ~ 4/11

Today students read the story John Henry with a partner.  Afterwards students worked on their public service announcement to elect John Henry for Mayor.  Before getting started we discussed what a public announcement is and came up with qualities we would like in a mayor.

Homework:

• Finish your public service announcement.  This should be in the purple section of your notebook.
• AR ~ Don't forget to do your 25-30 minutes of reading.  You should be halfway to your goal by April 23rd.
• Lit Circle ~ Groups 1 & 2 will be meeting on Tuesday.  Make sure you have read your reading chunk.  Make sure your lit circle job 1 and journal entry 1 are done.  Remember these should be on a separate sheet of paper NOT in your notebook.
