We really enjoyed listening to Mashal read one of our favorites: If You Give a Pig a Pancake! Thanks for sharing one of your favorite books with us, Mashal!
In writing we read Good Night, Gorilla and looked at how the author (Peggy Rathman) stretched a small moment out over several pages. We then worked on our slice of life or personal narratives. Branden finished his story and we looked at how he had taken one part of a story, cut out the beginning, then taped it to the beginning of a new story. He will be illustrating his story about his hero, his dad, tomorrow! Be sure and click on the link to the right for student writing. Branden, Alisha and Klara will each have one there this week!
Alisha not only wrote her story, revised her story, edited her story, but typed it into the computer herself! GREAT JOB, Alisha! I think you will really enjoy her story once we publish it. She will be illustrating tomorrow.
In reading, we finished up the story of the Journey of the Pilgrims by using the reading strategy of visualizing to create a gallery of images:
Tomorrow we will use a senses wheel to help us visualize. More on that later!
We were supposed to go to the library, but we got so busy...I FORGOT!!!! So, we will be going on Thursday to check out books. Whoops!!!
We practiced our readers theater performances also. If your child brought home words last Friday, please help him/her with their lines.
In math, 2nd graders completed unit 3 and 1st graders worked on more frames and arrows.
I sent home a letter in their mail telling you about an easier way to watch the homefun video. Click on the link to the right and it will take you directly to the student sign in. Much easier!
