Monday Marvels!

We began our day with word work and our new word wall words. Be sure and practice them using spelling city. You can link to the site from the blog or our classroom wiki. Practice!

But then we had some excitement as Chris' mom came in as our mystery reader! She read a GREAT book, How to Drive Your Sister Crazy! I'm sure I'm going to read some interesting stories now!



Gavin then read to us about Penguins and lead us through the classroom promise. Great reading, Gavin!





We took a quick break to celebrate Haley's birthday. Happy Birthday and thanks for the doughnuts!!!

We continued with our strategy of determining importance and learned that authors have important messages in their books. We will learn more about this tomorrow.

Our writing lesson was about biographies. We looked at many biographies and then created questions that we might ask someone if we could interview them. We sorted the questions into categories. Tomorrow students will begin interviewing a buddy using our questions.

After recess and lunch, we went to the library. We returned to the room where 1st graders worked on comparison number stories and 2nd graders worked on addition with several addends.

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