Wednesday

Ms. Adams had her teaching debut today for morning meeting!  She did a great job!  The students were very responsive to her.  The professor from NEC was very impressed with our class.

In reading, we read a book about Backyard Habitat animals.  We will be studying these tomorrow in the library.  Students will begin researching an animal and they will put their information together for an end project afterward.  We will be stressing the nonfiction conventions and how they help readers gain information. Students then worked either in a reading group, on a nonfiction conventions scavenger hunt or picking facts from nonfiction books.

In writing, we finished up our writing benchmarks, finished up our Weekend News and then did a word work activity. Mrs. Cannon had read us the book A House is a House for Me.  I had students reread this book and look for rhyming words.  This activity was called Rounding up the Rhymes.

This afternoon after library, quiet time and read aloud, we had a math test on place value.
