Literacy
Today you wrote a reading test. It was a bit of a challenge for some of you. Always use examples we have done in class as a guide. I was testing if you understood the characteristics of narratives and how you use them to SUMMARIZE the plot of a story. A few students need to finish. Remember a summary tells the most important things that happen in a story that relate to the character solving the problem. Some of you have got it. Others just need more practice. Remember your growth mindset!

Science
Today we talked about DECOMPOSERS. What is the job of decomposers? Why are they so important? What would happen if there were no decomposers? Can you name four different decomposers?
