It was an interesting start to school this morning as it was a bit cold. But we got to work and after a bit, all went well. We are starting a new unit in writing. The students have been writing all year, but we are now starting to peer edit. The students will have someone else read their work and determine what needs to change. This should encourage everyone to do a bit better because as you begin to critique another's work, you find the deficiencies in your own. We also worked on our angles again. Students are starting to make progress here. We also started a discussion about Kwanzaa in our social studies unit. Students learned why Kwanzaa got its beginning in the 1960s. Tomorrow we will talk a little more about this new holiday. Wear school colors tomorrow!
