Marvelous Monday!



Ryan was our child of the day and read a wonderful book by Robert Munsch, More Pies! He chose it because it reminded him of when he is hungry. He must love pies!

We began our study of writing reading exdended reponses. We begin my restating the question: What did you do last night when you got home from school? Restated: When I got home from school last night, I....

Then we write a GIST answer. A gist answer is a quick, short answer. When I got home from school last night, I went for a walk.

Next, we begin to add details to support our answer and lastly, we end with a concluding statement that restates the question again.

We will spend more time tomorrow on restating the question and the GIST answer before moving on to the details.

We practiced our readers' theater scripts and then read some more poetry books. We wrote our first poems, looking at the world through poets eyes.

In math, seniors worked on place value and juniors reviewed time.

Have a great night!
