Sahithi was our child of the day and read the book The Lion and the Mouse. We learned that no matter how small you may be, you can still do BIG things! Thanks for reading this great book to us, Sahithi!
Today was NOT an ordinary day. We took time out for our Holiday Card Project, an online project that we are participating in. We each made a holiday card (part of our letter writing and card writing unit of study) that will be sent to 24 different schools across the country. We will also receive cards from the same 24 schools. For the majority of the schools that can accept the cards via email, we will be uploading the cards to be sent. My plan is to add a voice over from each child sending holiday greetings. For those that cannot accept email, we will send the cards through the mail.
As we receive our cards, we will track locations on a map and through GoogleEarth. (Geography)
We did have time for readers' workshop where we continued learning about visualzing.
In math, 1st graders worked on counting coins and 2nd graders worked on the Part/Part/total diagram. Take a look at the readers' theater video that Simi, Natalie, Grier and Alisha created to get an idea of what we mean about part/part/total.
