We began our day with our session of quiet reading and snack.  If students have a healthy snack -- NOT CANDY-- that they would like to eat, they may do it during this time.

We are hoping to complete our Book Talks before the end of the year.  I forgot my computer at school yesterday and could not complete my project to show them.  What I did, though, was reminding them of what they would be doing in the Library during our time in the computer lab.  I created a chart and then a note on what was expected:

For each of the sections, the jot notes would be used to write the script in sentences.  Here was a breakdown of the steps taught to the class:

Ms. Wills and I were in agreement on these steps.  The students then spent two periods of the morning writing up the sections of their jot notes.  We will be continuing with this over four periods before the holiday break.

 

In the afternoon, we took in the sounds and scenes from the Holiday Concert.  Here are some images from it:
