It feels like forever since I've been in class with the kids. I was at a workshop on writing last Thursday and one on Literacy yesterday and am excited to try out new ideas in class.
Today we;
-tried we completed an "exit slip" after our independent writing. We wrote about the book or text we just read about
-participated in a small sharing circle. This time is meant to focus on our listening skills and really think about what the reader is sharing. We can then respond, react or as questions.
-brainstormed verbs about dogs
-wrote our first "strong verb" poem of the year
-went to music
-discussed the difference between a "right" and a "responsibility"
-discussed the difference between a "need" and "want"
-finally....our book orders came in! There are 2 students who are waiting on a couple more books.
Here are 2 websites I would like to share.....
