Spotlight of the Week
This week, grade 5 students in Ms. Holloway's class had been drafting their first-ever middle school Writing About Reading Essays about a character's traits in "The Giving Tree"!
On Friday, they were learning about how a concluding paragraph works. They practiced how they would approach drafting a conclusion based on the information given in a general introductory paragraph example on the board. After the class discussion of their formative assessment on whiteboards, they went back to their notes and graphic organizers to draft their own conclusion paragraphs.

This weekend, Daley School students from the Cross-Country team met with their coaches at Shedd Park for some added practice. Now that's what we call dedication!!! |
