Nicholas read the book, Franklin Goes To The Hospital to the class today. He chose this book because he likes Franklin books. It reminded Gabrielle of when she went to the doctor and was worried. She told the class that it helped her understand why Franklin was scared to go to the doctor.



Ryan also read to us today. He read Grandpa Comes to Stay. He read chapter 2 because another student had read chapter 1 to the class. He likes this book because it reminds him of things he gets to do with his grandfather.

We had a busy day with music and art. In reading, we finished How Many Days to America. We learned that we can make inferences by using our schema, looking closely at the pictures and words, and having discussions with others. While we were discussing the book, I almost got up to get my video camera because it was great to hear students piggybacking on each others comments. (listening and adding on). Maybe next time!

In writing, they began stories yesterday about the mysterious Harris Burdick. (From Chris Van Allsburg: The Mystery of Harris Burdick) They look at a picture and using the caption under it as a lead, write a story. I can't wait to read them.

It was DATA DAY in math today for both juniors and seniors. We made a bar graph from our tally chart of our favorite food groups.

Have a GREAT 3-Day weekend!
