Meghan was Child of the Day and just could not decide what to read to the class. She finally chose The Dog. She enjoys this non fiction book because it helps to build her schema about dogs.

Today we finished reading A Bad Road for Cats by Cynthia Rylant. We are looking at characters and inferring characters traits. We also looked at how the character changed in the story. Tomorrow we will go back into the text and find out why she changed.

We only had 40 minutes for writing today because of our morning special: music. We went back to reread our stories, making changes by adding details or taking away details.

In math we worked on the math menu...did you take a look at the video? I also worked with 2 groups of 1st graders where we practiced subtraction using base ten blocks. I did not get to meet with the 2nd graders because of the afternoon special: art. Tomorrow I will begin with the 2nd graders and probably do 2 lessons in one....that's the beauty of the math menu!

Hope you enjoyed your snow day!
