Have you heard any interesting words floating around lately? This week we worked on the Morning Vocabulary words by using a great website called quizlet.com. The site offers many opportunities for students to practice, learn, and absorb vocabulary words. There are also a few games that engage the students. We used the site on the SMART Board this week. Who thought vocabulary could be fun???

We also worked on "Trash and Treasure" reading. Students learned to mine the treasures, the important words, from articles using highlighters and annotation. Then they used those gems to write summaries. We then compared these factual summaries to our previous reading responses which were opinion based.

We ended the week with some great "like your hair is on fire" reading of independent books. There is no better way to end a productive week!
