Today we met with Literature Circle groups (three of the four before we ran out of time) and shared success criteria for the five week cycle as well as role assignments for the first day of presentation next week. Students were given tips on what sorts of things a discussion director and connector should do. There are detailed outlines in the packages for the other two roles as well (word wizard and summarizer). All students take a turn doing each role. In the final week all will be doing the illustrator role at the same time.
Today was our third homework club day after school. Two students attended. I am available for extra help during this time.

2. Scholastic orders due Wednesday October 19.
3. Haunted Walk form and fee if coming.
4. Spelling Dictation #4 tomorrow. As shown in many of the test packs, the third dictation marked a significant drop-off from the first two, which is probably an indication a that a little more review is required.
5. Addition and Multiplication quiz on Monday October 17.
6. Office Index cards.
7. Book Report due October 20, next Thursday.
8. Spelling text work: page 21, # 1,2,4; page 22 # 6,7,8; page 23 -- copy the note. We had about one hour of class time today to complete this work. I assigned some notebook partners today for Spelling. I noticed when I reviewed the notebooks that there were a considerable number of students not finishing their homework and not recording it in a clear way. I have provided coaching verbally and in writing in all of these instances. It is my idea that another voice from a peer may provide more incentive for some students to focus on their daily work more effectively. I may expand this collaborative effort to other subjects in time, but for now it is a Spelling activity. Feel free to ask your child for a look at their Spelling and Journal notebooks if you are curious about how they are doing.

4. Complete your 2 paragraph news journal entry. The first paragraph is a short summary of the article to which you were introduced, and the second paragraph is a reflection/response to the article. The presenters asked a thought=provoking final question at the end of their presentations which can be used as a jumping off point for this reflection. Students could also make connections (TTT, TTS, TTW) as well. We had three excellent presentations today. Students should have a strong idea of what is required after these three and my two detailed introductions with samples.
