Our child of the day, Francis, read a very, very, funny book to the class: Sleepy Tiger Bedtime. He told me yesterday he wanted to read this because it is funny. We really enjoyed it...thank you, Francis!
We read the book The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear and learned how authors share their feelings to stretch out their stories.
I've added a few more stories to our collection of digital stories on our wiki. Be sure and click on the link to the right (student writing) and it will take you directly to the page on the wiki where you can listen. So far, Klara, Alisha, Branden, and Gavin have a story. After you listen, click on the word comment at the bottom of this post. Tell them what you thought about their story and I will share it with the class. They ABSOLUTELY love knowing people are looking at their work.
I'll add more stories tomorrow.
Be sure and click on the link at the top and watch the readers' theatre video of Natalie, Alisha, Simi, and Grier performing in Fact Family Triangle. They did a GREAT job sharing their learning. Another 2nd grade classroom watched the video today and the girls were so excited to know that they were helping other students in the building learn. Click on comments here too: they would love to hear from you!!!!
In reading, we read Traveling Cat and created a Story Wheel to help us visualize and remember.
We went to the library today as well. We spent quite a bit of time practicing our Thanksgiving Readers' Theatre. The students are all excited about performing tomorrow. I videotaped them today, so if you can't come, I'll have them on the wiki this weekend for you to view. But if you can...they LOVE a live audience!
We have art tomorrow as well as an assembly where we will hear from the Bartlett Fire Department.
Don't forget Homefun is due tomorrow.
