Winter Carnival is a time for everyone to relax and have some fun! We have been working hard all year...so why not play some games, enjoy some activities, and buy some cool stuff??? Our SCO does a fantastic job every year making it super fun for the kids and this year was no exception. We had a jumpy slide, football throws, hockey puck goals, a putting green, a photobooth, and one of the kids favorites...toilet paper toss! The kids had a great time! We have been working hard on reading Paired Passages lately. We are quickly becoming experts at being able to find text evidence in more than one place. This week we focused on two great presidents: Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. ReadWorks had some excellent resources to choose from, so I was able to select an informational article about each one of the presidents. On Tuesday we mainly focused on Lincoln, and on Wednesday we focused on Washington. On Thursday and Friday we used a cool Venn (shaped like their heads, no less!) to compare and contrast these fine presidents. A lot of information came from our paired passages, but I was also impressed how much schema these kids already had stored up in their heads! Happy Birthday Abe and George!   We have been working on our unit on verbs. We worked on what verbs are, how to get those subjects to agree with our verbs, using vivid verbs (and getting rid of those tired verbs), future tense verbs, and past tense verbs. This week we worked on those pesky irregular verbs. Those weird ones of the English language that make no sense. Today I swim, yesterday I swam or I have swum...think, thought, have thought...fly, flew, have flown. We practiced a bunch on response boards, and then we recorded them on the white board. Whew! English is weird!  |
