Our child of the day, Nathan, read The Elves and the Shoemaker. We really enjoyed the retelling of this traditional tale.
Kylie's grandmother was our mystery reader today! She read Wombat Stew, a story that she brought back from Australia. We learned a lot about the different animals that live there. Here we are repeating a chorus from the book:
Kylie was so surprised and we had a lot of fun! Thank you!
We learned about adjectives and nouns today during writing. We learned that we have to "show, not tell" with our words. We need our words to be specific. We will work more on this Friday.
In reading we read The Whales Song. We brainstormed words to describe the three characters in the book. Tomorrow we will go back and determine if we had to infer the character trait or if it is stated in the text.
During math, we all worked on math facts and problem solving.
I will not be at school tomorrow as I will be at a district meeting. The students know, but please remind them that the rules don't change when we have a substitute.
