Anna did a great job leading us through the calendar and reading the book The Missing Keys. We enjoyed the story and Anna was able to answer a lot of our questions afterwards. Great READING, Anna!
We also had a mystery reader, Natalie's mother! Natalie was very surprised! We listened to a story about the Easter Beagle from the Peanuts Gang! Maybe next time...Natalie's Dad????? Thanks for sharing...it was wonderful!
Math Workshop: 1st graders learned more about math fact families and used their fact triangles to play Beat the Calculator. 2nd graders played Basketball Addition.
In reading, we read the book It Could Always be Worse and learned how to analyze and evaluate a text.
In writing, we continued to write our biographies. They are really coming along. Some students are still doing research and some on creating posters about their subject. We brainstormed ways to present our findings and we have such ideas as Readers' Theater, poems, narrative non fiction, posters, PowerPoint's, reports and more! They have really taken on their subjects, learned a GREAT deal about them, and how to write biographies. Students have realized that we don't have to write a biography from birth to death, but can also focus in on just one aspect of their subjects life. Truly authentic learning and authentic writing!
Tomorrow we have library, so don't forget your library books!
