Connections

Happy Hat Day!

Today was Hat Day during our week long Spirit Week. I think Hat Day has been the most participated day so far. I’m sure tomorrow’s PJ day will be the best.

Students have been practicing making connections to reading. They learned a fun song of different ways to make connections to their own life, to other books they have read, or to events. I will try to get their video on the blog in a separate post.

Since Monday, students have been using Picturing Writing to make rain pictures as we begin to learn about weather. Students will be writing poems that go along with their rain picture.

Here are some pictures of our published poetry that students created with Margaret Hasse. They turned out great!!!!

Today, students found a new favorite Morning Meeting game, “Coconuts, Palm Trees, Volcanoes, and Kings/Queens”.  Ask your child how to play.

Tomorrow students will be making turkeys and will make a list of things that they are thankful for. Ms. Paxton will also teach an editing lesson about a leader they have chosen to write to.

Have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend!!!
