Words Their Way: Finish writing the book organized sort in spiral notebooks - and write an OPEN SORT (where you choose the sorting method).

Biographies: Students worked on their thesis paragraph for their biography essay this morning. The hope is that they can finish a rough draft of their thesis and one other body paragraph by the end of this week.

Health Education: Today the fourth and fifth grade started puberty education with Jen Devine. All nerves and awkwardness aside, everyone was very respectful and mature. Ms. Devine provided students with a brief overview of what happens during puberty and how our bodies change during this time. She will be here until Thursday, continuing the unit on puberty.
