We started our day with cutting out our new word study words for the week. Then, we had our morning meeting in English. Today we once again helped EDIT morning message. We are working on reading carefully and making appropriate changes to spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. We also discussed the calender and completed our daily math routines during morning meeting. After our meeting we had a minilesson in English. Today we practiced getting deeply inside of the Story Spaghetti that we have been reading. We tried to listen to the story and create a dream or play in our minds. Today the students were asked to write about their thinking for the first time. After responding to the story the students worked on their Daily Five choices and met with their teachers in small groups to learn their new word study patterns. To end the morning, we had a chance to read the biographies that our friends wrote about us. We then created a chart to show the things that our firends did include in the biographies. We will be working in groups based on gender for the next week in writing. This is to get us excited about biographies and in groups we will be reading about famous people. The students will find our tomorrow who they will be reading about.
To start our afternoon, we had a special read aloud. Today Derek read us the book Froggy's Baby Sister. After he read he shared some speical news! We then worked on our math, the green gators finished their first grade assessment and the red rhinos worked on using coins. To end the day we read to our reading buddies in Mrs. Maynard and Mrs. Stacey's rooms
