Kylie was our Child of the Day and she did a GREAT Job reading Muffin is Trapped. One of the other jobs the child of the day does is lead us through the morning pledge and our calendar. Wonderful job, Kylie!
Simi and Grier checked out books about President Lincoln at the library yesterday and they were very anxious to share some of their new learning with us. Thanks for helping us build up our schema.
Math Workshop: 1st graders completed a Unit 4 Checking Progress, then worked on problem solving and number sense. 2nd graders built more 3D pyramids with different bases.
Word Work Workshop: we practiced learning how to spell our words and handwriting. We also worked on our sorts of spelling patterns.
Readers Workshop: We read Recess at 20 Degrees Below, asking questions as we read. Tomorrow we will go back and see if we can get answers to our questions.
Writers Workshop: We looked at different biography books and created an anchor chart of what we learned about text structure. We also recorded our book, The Important Thing About Abraham Lincoln, on photostory. I will publish that as soon as the last few students finish. We've had a lot of absentees this week so it's taking awhile to get them done.
Tomorrow we have gym and music. We will also meet in the gym with the entire school for a simultaneous reading of the Gettysburg Address with students across the country.
