Today’s Agenda for Monday/Tuesday, February 26/28, 2018:
Leave your composition books in their hanging folders.
1. Quiet, individual reading time -- If you can, use this time to read your nonfiction books.
If you have not picked a book yet, sample the nonfiction books available on the rolling table at the front of the room. 2. Sign-up for your nonfiction books -- by Wednesday, February 28. 3. Sentence Types Practice. Students practiced recognizing simple, compound, and complex sentences.

4. Students practiced recognizing expository text structures.
Note that Sequence and Chronological are different because sequence shows the order of what repeatedly happens (the metamorphosis of a butterfly) or what should happen (recipes or science experiments or assembling a bicycle).
Chronological order, on the other hand, is about what happened. Example: You were born, then you learned to talk and walk, then you went to kindergarten, then first grade, and so on. It’s time order using days, weeks, months, years. |
