We have a staff meeting today after school so I'm doing this right now while the kids are doing their silent reading. The kids will have a paper today to practice their "determining levels of importance" for Rigby Reading. If they did what I asked, they have put their green reading books in their backpacks (or they will have) and they should have the page to fill out also. It is about the story called "Famous Firsts", the page numbers are on the paper, and it tells them what to do at the top. You will notice that for a couple of them (Jackie Robinson, for instance) there are five levels of importance, and for others, I'm only asking them to find three (as with Junko Tabei).
They will also have a new spelling list (all adverbs this week--and it's challenging in parts), a short prepositions page (so glad that this group gets prepositions...), and a short assignment on adding fractions for my math crew.
The kids may come home a little grossed out tonight. We started our health unit which includes a book on bacteria and other microscopic organisms that live inside our bodies. This is definitely an "eww, gross" kind of unit, but hopefully some people are fascinated enough to pursue a future in a medical profession.
