February 17, 2014

We updated our medal count today, and did our O.W.I.  Ask your child about the picture we looked at today (Click here to view it!).

Then we had an extended Reading Workshop period, where we enjoyed another chapter from 'The Hobbit' and also worked in Guided Reading groups.  Today our focus was on how good readers ask questions while they read.  Each student had to come up with two questions that couldn't be answered with a yes or no response.

After DPA and recess we went on to Writing Workshop.  We spent some time reflecting on the importance of working as a team, followed by reading poetry together.

During Math today the students culminated our current unit by completing (or almost completing) 'Show What You Know' from this unit.  On to bigger and better things tomorrow!

After lunch we had Science and our focus today was the food chain, and how everything we eat either is a plan or comes from/depends on plants.  Be sure to ask your child where gelatin comes from! :)
