This was probably the favorite day for the kids. They dressed as characters or in costume--something real or fantasy. They had a good time sharing who they were and we still got lots done. We had a big talk about the word origin of
'hallowed'. They learned it is an old-2000 year old word, and the change of seasons is how humans first started keeping up with time. We discussed being good neighbors as they Trick or Treat and how as a community people enjoy talking to them about their costumes. In this picture, they are acting as their character. |

| Newsela-- excellent non fiction articles that the students can read at home using their Doceo Accounts and going to one of our Google Classrooms. There are thousands of articles and plenty of assignments that they can do and the work is saved in their Google Drive folder. I see the work as it is in process. The articles can count as Reading Log entries too. |
Awake and then asleep for Pajama Day.

| Peer Review of work--it is a process asking questions because each has been listening carefully and they can also give Comments, Suggestions or Compliments. Learning to help each other communicate is at the heart of cooperation. It is takes many drafts to write and figure out exactly what is needed. Practice, rereading, listening, and talking about what is the heart of the message what we spend a lot of time on. |
