Here's Grier reading a GREAT book: quietly, thinking, focusing on her reading! What a reader!
We talked about The Art Lesson and how it is an autobiography of a small point in Tomie dePaolo's life, and how he stood up for himself, and how he began learning about art. We also began a timeline of books we are reading. After looking at another of his books, 26 Fairmont Ave., we determined that The Art Lesson was set in the 1930's.
In math workshop we worked on place value and problem solving. They each have a problem solving log to keep track of their growth this year.
In writing we read Matthew's ABC's. In this book, a teacher has 25 students, all named Matthew. We saw how the author orgainzed the book through word choice to create an ABC book.
We continue to observe our tadpoles. Here's Alisha as she carefully observes their changes.
I will be at a meeting at district office all day tomorrow. Although I have talked to the class about my expectations, please reiterate with your child how this is a guest teacher, that the rules are the same: follow the 4C's.
There won't be a post tomorrow. See you Friday!
