Grier was our child of the day and read a very, funny book: Moosetache! She did a great job reading with fluency: her voice would change with the characters and she really made it exciting. It was fun to listen!
We read the book Chester and learned that when we are ready to publish, we want it to be a piece that we really hold close to our hearts. It's important to choose a piece that moves us and that we take our time getting to that point.
In reading we worked more on making inferences. We read the book The Stranger by Chris Van Allsburg. I modeled how we pull the clues from the words and text and put them together to make an inference. Students wrote in their Thinking Journals who they thought "The Stranger" is. I'm looking forward to reading their ideas. We'll share them tomorrow.
We played a word wall game today: I have (word wall word); Who has (word wall game) to help students with automaticity in reading these words.
In math, first graders worked on problem solving and math facts; 2nd graders worked on problem solving and geometry.
We have music and gym tomorrow.
