We had a great day reading and meeting in CAFE groups.  We reviewed in the library nonfiction and fiction texts.  I was proud how much my students knew.  They were well informed and knew the components of a nonfiction text.  They could communicate with us why their books were fiction and nonfiction.  Please ask them to explain why a book they are reading is fiction or nonfiction.  We learned that we will be publishing our small moment stories and what we have to do to create our books.  Then we did our group graphs and are working in teams to create a poster to place in the hall on a CGI type problem.  We are working in groups because we can not only learn from the teach, but from our friends.  Then we began our election unit in social studies.  I sent home a project about our presidential election.  It is not due till Thursday, but feel free to send it in tomorrow if you get done.
