Class on 2/24/2011

Students worked individually on Homework Review

In pairs they practiced a past tense story (minimum three sentences each and students rotated to talk to at least 5 others.

Review of  past tense (students received a half sheet of Common Irregular Past Tense). Students took a practice quiz and were told to study for a quiz next class.

Students read their Patty Smith-Hill answers out load to the whole class. We then chose 3 answers and as a whole class we wrote a paragraph. Importantly, we practiced turning simple questions into statements to use as the first sentence of a paragraph.

Students Read about the Kaiser Child Care Centers and individuals contributed important facts. Then as a whole class we constructed a paragraph to answer the following question: "What innovations did the Kaiser bring to the Child Care field?"

Homework: Read pages 25 through 27 about Nursery schools and answer this question: "What  important facts did you learn about Nursery Schools in the US?"
Study for the Quiz.
