Tales from Thursday
Alexis was our child of the day and she did a great job reading The Little Work Plane. The other kids really enjoyed listening to her. Listen later tonight on the website.
We looked over many, many non fiction books, but this time, really looking at how the author wrote it. Were the facts presented as a question and answer? Or were the facts presented in a narrative style? A lot of the students are beginning to take their notes and write their reports. They know there are many ways they can write their report so that it is interesting to the reader.
We also watched a video on the seasons to add to our study of weather. In the afternoon we had our first Junior Achievement Lesson. The representative will be here every Thursday right after lunch to talk to us about community. We then began our math, first as a whole group working on place value, then as they worked on their math menu, I taught the juniors more about the hundreds chart and how to use it and the seniors, more about money notation and how to enter money into the calculator.
Have a wonderful day off. See you Monday!
