     6th Grade-  Students will get their weekly assessments back from last Friday and make corrections to the questions they got wrong. Students will also work on a verbs practice sheet.  To finish class I want the 6th graders to copy their "Tortoise vs Hare" journal assignments from last week onto paper they can turn into me.  As they are copying I want them to edit and add as they deem appropriate.  I want to have these stories ready to work on for the future.

Activities:
     5th Grade- I will first conduct a review mini lesson on topic and conclusion sentences.  Once done with this mini-lesson I want students to write a rough draft on their "Paragraph Practice" sheets.  I will be walking around facilitating mini-writing conferences to talk improvement points with students.  After a rough draft is complete students will be working on a verb practice sheet.
     6th Grade-  Today will be a bit off as there is an assembly during one of the 6th grade classes which means more than 50% of that class will not be in attendance.  With the other half of that class and the other 6th grade room I want to introduce "First Class" to them.  I will be giving First Class usernames and passwords then modeling a brief lesson on how to correctly log in and send an email.  Students will be asked to to the same thing.  I want them to send me emails before they leave.
