Gabrielle was our child of the day and she did a wonderful job reading the book Miss Rumphius. She chose this book because her mom read it to her 3rd grade class when she was teaching. Gabrielle did a great job reading with fluency..it was exciting and everyone enjoyed it. Look for her video reading tonight on the website.
We worked some more on determining importance using a non fiction text. We read about Elks and then listed important and unimportant facts. We used the strategy later in the morning as we read about Australia.
Today the students are bringing home a copy of their HOW TO book that the class made. I'm sure you will enjoy the stories. The students also spent time today drawing their final maps to go with their Secret Shortcut Stories. Look for that book to go home later in the week or early next week.
Please be sure and vote on Meghan's survey. We did not have enough representation to make our interpretations in the classroom, so I have reopened it till Friday. The students know this is part of their responsibility to sign on and vote. We reviewed again how to sign on the computer, log on to the internet, and then sign on to the blog. Parents....please let them do this and read together what we did during the schoolday. Here's a perfect way to find out what your child did each day and have a conversation with them.
Vote!
