Grier's mother also came and participated:
On this historic day, Isabella was our child of the day. She lead us through the class promise and read The House in the Tree. GREAT job, Isabella!
Math Workshop: 1st graders worked on place value and 2nd graders worked on symmetry.
Readers Workshop: We learned more about the reading comprehension strategy of asking questions. We went back to answer some of our questions from Recess at 20 Degrees Below. We discovered that some questions are answered directly in the text and that some questions we have to infer what the answer might be. We also discovered that sometimes questions require further discussion or more research. These are the lingering questions that readers have after reading a book.
Writers Workshop: We read the book Mr. Lincoln's Whiskers and then wrote letters to President Lincoln. They were very interesting!
Tomorrow we will have our long awaited Winter/Holiday Party combined with our Valentine's Day Party. It's also the 100th day of school, so in math we will do some number sense activities around the 100th day. Then, at 11:00 we will begin making Lincoln Log Cabins, followed by a pizza lunch. In the afternoon we will celebrate Valentine's Day. Phew! It's going to be a busy day!
