Today was an exciting April Fool's Day! We tricked the students this morning and had their morning message in....German! They had a hard time reading the message, and thought it was funny! We then did our message in the language we know--Spanish! Throughout the day we have many students telling us their April Fool's jokes!
In writing workshop, we finished up our All About books. Only a few more to finish!
For Word Study, the student's did a speed sort, and no-peek write. Today we switched things up a bit and did math in the morning. On Senorita's math side they worked on skip counting and word problems. On Mrs. Helfer's, we did a story problem to start off the day which was very tricky! Tomorrow we will be working with different ages of our families and putting them into sequential order.
We read through "Ira Sleeps Over" again today and did a web on his character traits. Some of the words they came up with to describe Ira were embarassed, upset, happy, and confused. Tomorrow they will be doing a reading response to the character Ira in their Writing About Reading Notebooks.
In science, we went out into the hallway to take more observations of our seeds in the bag. They are growing!! The students really enjoy seeing something like this. We also came up with a word bank for plants and the various words we have come familiar with in the past couple weeks.
It was a great day!
