We had to improvise a bit and make some changes in our classroom routine based upon our days off of school. Since we had a crazy week, we will carry over this week's spelling words to next week. HOWEVER, I did let students take their spelling test today if they felt ready (they made their own choice regarding this). Students who receive a 90% or higher will NOT need to take the spelling test next week. We will carry over these same words for next week's test.
We did reread the story The Stranger by Chris Van Allsburg, and we watched a movie of this story. After this review, students were prepared to take their story comprehension and vocabulary test, so we did take it today. However, we will continue our Chris Van Allsburg unit into next week so that we can read more of his great fantasy stories in class. We are also working on a "Year in Review" activity using our Time For Kids magazines, so we will most likely not be having a Tuesday reading story next week.
