Thursday Thrills

Jacob did a GREAT job as our Child of the Day! We really enjoyed listening to his reading. We learned about different types of writing and listened for clues as he read his story to make a prediction. Great reading, Jacob!






We read the book Chicken Little to identify words we could use instead of

said

in our writing. We then sorted these words (squawked, cried, wailed, murmured,etc.) into categories: soft, loud, scared, etc., words. We can use these when we write!

We also read the book Corduroy. We learned that when we infer (clues + schema = inference) we have to support our thinking with evidence from the book. We will keep working on this as we go forward.

We also learned how to

Ba-Da-Bing

our writing! We are moving to the revision stage of the writing process. We went back and reread what we had written. Then was asked ourselves (in order to add details or write more powerful sentences) What did my feet do (BA) What did I see? (DA) What did I think? (BING)

After lunch and recess students went to Art and their ELL enrichment time.

Tomorrow we have P.E. and music. Be sure and wear the correct type of shoe or have a pair here.

Have a GREAT night! And don't forget to READ....READ....READ!!!!
