=Topic=
 * 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

=Activity=

Today I will not be in as I will be attending the Ohio eTech Conference in Columbus. The 4th grade will be with a substitute and will spend their time having some fun with the book, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

They will first create a word search using Discovery Education Puzzlemaker. The word search will use words, decided upon by the students, that relate to the book they are reading with Mrs. Pastore. Once the word search is created, they will be able to print them off to give to Mrs. Pastore. She will then give them other students to complete. How fun!

Once they have completed this, they will have the opportunity to test their knowledge on the following 20,000 League games and activities:

- Vocabulary Matching Game - Match the Columns - Assorted Matching and Concentration Games

=Assessment=

Today, students will be assessed on the following:

- On task behavior - Completion of the word search - Participation in after search activities
