Thursday Thrills

Our child of the day, Bradley, read a non fiction narrative about the Survivors of the Titanic. It was wonderful! Such fluency! He is also writing a report about the Titanic that I can't wait until he finishes. It's great so far, and he is working on the ending right now. GREAT JOB, Bradley!



Today we worked more on making meaningful connections. I read There is a Nightmare in my Closet and we shared our connections. We discussed which ones were coincidences and which ones helped us to understand the book.

In writing we learned about setting leads. For example, here is the lead sentence in Stellaluna:

In a warm and sultry forest, far, far, away, there once lived a mother fruit bat and her new baby.

We reviewed the leads we have learned about this week and then went back to our writing to give it a try.

We had art and our ELL enrichment time this afternoon. Tomorrow we have P.E. and music.

Tomorrow we will have a substitute teacher. Students will work on a Thanksgiving activity. There will be no blog posting on Friday.

Have a GREAT night and a wonderful Thanksgiving break. Don't forget to READ, READ, READ, READ......and then READ some more!
