UOI We have been very busy this week indeed! We're coming to the end of our unit on Rights and Responsibilities and for our summative assessment we've chosen a rights activist from our home countries to research. This Thursday, we'll be dressing up as our chosen person and, in character, will be giving a speech to share our learning. As a class, we came up with the following questions to research: Which rights did this person fight for? Why did they fight for these rights? How did they fight for these rights? What changes, if any, did they make? We've enjoyed learning about the people our classmates have researched and we're looking forward to our gallery of statues this Thursday! DAILY 5 Now that we're all set with our Daily 5 routines, we're beginning to set goals for ourselves in writing and reading. If you come into our classroom and see our names on post-it notes on our writing and reading strategies, that's why! Last week and this week we've been looking at word choice, specifically to choose better words and use thesauruses to help us with this. We've also made our own Word Collector books so that if we come across any interesting words when reading, we can write them into our Word Collectors for future use.
