Thursday Thrills

Elsa was our child of the day and did a wonderful job reading. Yesterday was so busy with our mystery readers we didn't get a chance to listen to Haley read so we enjoyed her reading this morning.



We created a word exchange chart for the word "scared" during our morning meeting. We can use this in our writing time.

Today we learned that readers grow their schema. We read the book Growing Vegetable Soup by Lois Ehlert. First we pulled out our schema files and listed what we knew. Then after reading we made a chart of our new learning to see how our schema grew.

In writing we learned how we can time a "sketchy" story and turn it into a super story by just asking Who...What...Where...Why...When... and answering it in our writing.

This afternoon we went to art and our ELL enrichment time.

Tomorrow we have P.E. and Music. Be sure and wear gym shoes. We will have our Halloween party after we return from our specials.

Have a GREAT night and don't forget to READ....READ....READ.....
