Learning Intentions for our Day ... 

• Today we learned about adjectives. In small groups, we looked for adjectives in different books and recorded them on chart paper using our five senses. 
• In Writers' Workshop, we learned about how to write a cinquain poem. We got to choose our own topic. Some of us chose to write about our pets, family, friends, sports, food, animals etc. They are coming along beautifully! 
• We did two rounds of Daily 5 today. We are continuing to build our stamina by reading to self, reading to someone, or working on writing the whole time.

Ask me about ...

how we are writing a cinquain poem. Let me share with you the descriptive words we used in our poems. 

Reminders: 

• Please continue to practice word work at home. Our first word work 'check-in' will be on December 18th. Each of the strategies will be introduced in class this week.
