Our morning started at an assembly put on by the fifth graders. We learned what it's like at science camp!
I read The Snowy Day and we thought about how this story was a 'bed to bed' story. Most students so far have written stories about a whole day.. Our new focus is on small moments. I picked one small moment from the story and we noticed how Ezra Jack Keats stretched it out- a small moment. Each child picked one small moment that happened to them and planned out the beginning, middle, and end. Tomorrow they will start to write and illustrate this small moment.
Please join us on Friday, November 22nd from 8:10-8:45 for our first Author Celebration! Be on the look out for an invitation in your child's folder this week.
First day of our Social Studies unit on Africa. While looking through books about Africa, the children wrote I wonder statements and questions.
The children got a laugh out of this video clip... What should they do to be proactive?
