On Tuesday our class wrote compositions. Today and tomorrow we are taking the Reading Comprehension test: reading and responding to questions about fiction, nonfiction, and poetry.
As I look around, I see students engrossed in reading, while others look back through the stories, searching for evidence to help them answer a question. Some are writing the longer answers required by the "open response" questions. Many students have already written half a page or more! The atmosphere is focused and intent.
Earlier this morning, we took a break for snack and to run around outside. Later in the morning we will break for our "Smart Moves" exercises. If students need more time after lunch, they will have more time, while others who have finished move on to math and art.
