Simi was our child of the day and read the book Anansi and the Talking Watermelon. She chose this traditional tale because she liked the trickery in the story. We all enjoyed listening to her...look for the video on the website.
Aayush published a story on PhotoStory and you can take a look at it on the website under Student Writing.
In reading, we learned that asking questions leads to gaining information and as we learn new information, we have more questions. We also learned that questions spur more questions. Next week we will learn that readers ask questions before, during and after reading a book.
In writing we learned about "ba-da-bing" sentences which tie in with our Lead and stretch technique to adding details to our story. When writing sentences we can follow "ba" (what were your feet doing at the time) "da" (what do your eyes see) and "bling" (what were you thinking at the time) What fabulous stories I've been reading! I can't wait to publish them.
In math juniors worked on the math menu while seniors began division. We tied it to our problem solving strategy of drawing a picture to solve a problem.
Have fun at the fun fair tonight!
