It's computer lab day in sixth grade

Today was our computer lab day in sixth grade -- and that means students are working individually on computers in lab instead of working in our classroom.  And it means there's not much to report on what we were doing because every student is working on an individualized improvement plan at his or her on pace on the computer.

We did take a spelling test today.  And for the really fun part of the day, in writing workshop they shared more about their stories.  We have studied how professional writers introduce a problem in books and stories to keep the reader interested -- you want to read on because you want to find out what happened and how the problem or conflict was resolved.  Your sixth grade writer is doing the same thing, and right now they are sharing their problems and how they are going to resolve them.

Have a great weekend.
