Aayush was our child of the day and he read the book Nelson, the Baby Elephant. He chose this book because it reminded him of when he was a baby and learning to walk. Listen later tonight on the website for him reading this book.
We also had a mystery reader: Antonio's mom! He was very surprised! We enjoyed listening to The Selfish Crocodile.
We began our weeklong interpretation of the poem Jabberwocky today. When we are done, we will have inferred, used our schema, visualized, looked at what was important, asked questions and answered them, and synthisized this poem! When we leave on Friday I want kids to understand that we used all our strategies and that we aren't reading if we don't understand. Reading is thinking!
We had an assembly where we listened to the author: Mr. W. Nikola-Lisa. We enjoyed listening to his books as he read and brought them alive. Everyone had a great time. He reminded kids to be a great WRITER you have to be a great READER!!! Read, read, read, read, read, read.......
In math, juniors worked on fractions and seniors worked on calculating differences in costs.
Tomorrow we will go to the book fair and preview the books. Thursday at 8:30 we will make our purchases.
