Hello,
I felt like they took the test seriously and did their best. I was able to point out to a few of them how the test had "tricked" them into giving a wrong answer. We saw lots of poetry questions and questions about different genres like myths, legends, folklore, fairy tales, fables etc. (Not so different, huh?) Overall, I was pleased. We have a few more left to finish, but everyone has shown progress so far.
Harry Potter club will hold quidditch tryouts tomorrow for seekers and bludgers. Bludgers will throw big nerf balls at the quidditch contestants as they play. A good arm and throwing accuracy preferred. Seekers are responsible for finding and catching the golden snitch. Speed, stamina and an attention to detail are a must.
We finished our read aloud, Swindle, by Gordon Korman. It is a great caper where a group of kids try to pull off a huge heist. It is well written and kept the entire class guessing what would happen next. There are two more books in the series. Ask your child their thoughts about the book.
I need some sleep. Good night.
Mr. Shea
