We have officially started WRITING :)

With testing starting this week, Mrs. Scott and I decided to stick with writing lessons and start the more involved reading lessons next week. The kids in Ms. Gilbert's homeroom learned how to take a broad topic and narrow it down into three main writing points. They also learned how to make sure they can add details to those writing points. We discussed an "Epic adventure with my dad" and learned that although some writing points might be easy to come up with, they might not be that easy to add details about. The writing points we focus on must contain some details so it is easy to continue the writing process.

CGA testing did start today, as well. The district is focusing on making the sessions shorter so there is less testing. We have completed one day of testing and have five more. The sessions are only an hour long. Our switch times are a little off so that each homeroom gets the same amount of instruction time.
