In reading, we were working on a "Research Simulation Task" with our guided reading books on ecosystems. Students read a paired text (another text on the same topic), and also watched a video. They took notes in a 3-column organizer that related to a purpose or question about their reading. They will use this to answer an open-ended question next week. They did a great job with this! Please see my example below, taken from a PARCC Practice test.
Please see my email and a flyer going home about a night at the "PARCC!" This should be a fun and informative night for parents and students. Also, we will be celebrating Valenetine's Day on February 13th in class.
Have a great weekend!
