LA: We're continuing on with our novel study...we're finding Maniac Magee to be a fantastic read! We're coming across some heavy topics...often some that weigh heavily on our hearts. This a great discussion point at home...be sure to talk about it! We began by taking the vocabulary quiz from the previous section, and chose new words for this section as well. Our figurative language focus was on dialect, colloquialism, irony, symbolism, conflict, foreshadowing, hyperbole, stereotype, bias, dialogue, problem and solutions and making inferences. We also took a spelling pre-test today. Only the first 10 words will be given since this is a short week. We also spent some time analyzing a chunk of chapter 17 (the hyperboles) and took some time to mimick Jerry Spinelli in our own writing.
HW: Finish the journal entry, comprehension questions, writing and study for your vocabulary quiz tomorrow. Don't forget a quiz over Part 1 of the book will be given on Wednesday.
Math: We finished up unit 5 with some partner work today...focusing more on circle graphs and how to create them.
