April 16, 2009 :-)

Happy Thursday! Hope everyone is doing well. We started off the day wonderfully! Morning message was in English. We observed that it was another Sunny day! We don't want the sunshine to ever end! Question of the day was about food- "Which food have you had this week?" The choices were pizza and sandwiches. Most of us have had pizza!

Writing today involved free-write. Students had about 30 minutes to write about anything that interests them! After that, we got together with our writing partners and shared what we wrote. We got back together as a whole group and came up with a whole list of ideas that we could write about. I will be posting this in the classroom for them to look at when they have no ideas to write about.

Reading workshop started off with us revisiting Wemberly Worried. Yesterday we wrote a reading response as a whole group. Today, we reviewed what we wrote and some of the words we came up with. Then, they went back to their seats and wrote in their response journals. These came out really well!

In the afternoon, the red rhinos and some kindergarten friends were working on word problems adding more than one number, to create a total of 10. We did a crayon problem where we had to come up with different number combinations that equaled ten. THe students did a really good job with this activity! The green gators did a good job with measuring different areas around the room! We did this as a whole group.


Have a wonderful night!
