Student:
Today we had our math groups. In my math group we had a multiplication quiz and we learned about place value with marshmallows and Cheerios. Then we did expedition. We are starting projects. We got our reading response journals today.

Teacher:
We talked at length today about the writing process. Specifically, we discussed graphic organizers. We saw our friends at BrainPop and they taught us about story maps. We then read Salt In His Shoes. The story was about Michael Jordan. This activity modeled for the students the writing process, from brainstorming, to story mapping. Then the kids worked on their own stories. Look for these to be shared with you at your conference!
I will be out of the classroom tomorrow, so there will be no blog updates. Please sign up for conferences and ask your child about the new Reading Response Journal. This will be handed in each Monday, during the school day to be checked. This will be much better then the stray pieces of paper I have been seeing. Plus, students can look back on their reading responses and see how their views or predictions have changed.
That’s all, folks! Have a great day and I hope you will scroll down to see our Sleep with the Sharks slideshow.
