Tuesday Tales

Another extraordinary day (one of our vocabulary words!).  We are learning about text features of fiction books and using Poppleton as our mentor text.  It was great to hear students connecting their understanding of personal narratives with what they are learning in reading.

Anjali was our child of the day and read a chapter of a Henry and Mudge book.  Thanks, Anjali!

Of course, during the early part of the morning, we also went to have our photos taken.  Great outfits with crazy socks!

In writing we wrote our first drafts for our response to the book we read about Admiral Byrd:  Black Whiteness.

We only had time for a brief lesson on making change during our math time, so we will continue on with that tomorrow.  But we did work on number sense, problem solving, and more during our math workshop time.

Tomorrow as part of Red Ribbon Week and discussing making good choices, we will walk the new Liberty Walking Track....taking time to discuss good choices.

It will be warm, so dress accordingly!

I hope everyone is taking time to use TenMarks.  Explore the site...check out the videos.  I will be making assignments that are geared more toward what your child needs to work on, so get to use to manipulating the site.
