Thanks, Shivam!
We began the day working on words then moved into determining importance. As part of our morning message, we categorized facts about horses. This will help us as we began our own writing.
We reviewed how to paraphrase information and write facts in our own words, then finished up an activity we began yesterday with Time for Kids. We will write our summary tomorrow.
During writers workshop we read as writers as we looked at several non fiction books to identify how the author grabbed the reader and how they wrote their books. We then took another look at our own writing to identify how we could write a non fiction piece as a narrative. (narrative non fiction)
After lunch and recess, 1st graders completed a checking progress and 2nd graders worked on identifying equivalent fractions.
Tomorrow we will go to the book fair to purchase books. If you wish your child to purchase a book, just put the order in a sealed envelope with the cash or check. Label the envelope with your child's name and what it is for. I will hold onto it until we go to the book fair. If you wish to attend, you can meet us in the library at 12.
We also will have a visit from Nature Dan tomorrow to talk to us about Wacky Weather! It will be a GREAT learning experience.
Have a GREAT night and don't forget to READ....READ...READ!
