Wednesday Wonders!

Both Klara (today's child of the day) and Bela read to the class today. Bela really held our interest as she read Pocket Money. We learned that reading with fluency helps hold the audience's attention. Klara read a non fiction book, The Weather, and we learned more about retelling non fiction: paraphrasing the facts we learn in our own words. GREAT reading!



We worked some more on test taking strategies for MAP, then moved right in to our lessons on determining importance and how to paraphrase the facts we learn. In writing, we connected our learning and wrote facts down about Polar Animals that we were reading about.

After lunch and recess, 1st graders worked on a math exploration about geometry and 2nd graders worked on measurement and finding the middle value.

Tomorrow we have art.

Please sign and return report cards by Friday if possible. Have a GREAT night and don't forget to READ...READ....READ!!!!
