Sum it up!

This week we have been working on summarizing a story. In your post today, please summarize a story that you read during Read to Self time. Remember that summarizing is only telling the most important parts of a story.

You may want to include the main characters, the setting, and what happened in the beginning, middle, and end of the story.

If you have not finished a story this week, you can summarize our shared story, Zathura.


Please write in complete sentences when you summarize. Happy summarizing 304!

Instructing Hershey

Today, you will be taking your first Science test.  Hershey would also like to take the test, but he has been a bad dog!  He has not been studying, so he was hoping that you could teach him at least three things that he will need to know about from Chapter 1.  Thank you for explaining the science concepts to Hershey.  Let's keep Hershey out of the doghouse!


Happy teaching 304!
